Abstract
Percutaneous retrieval of intravascular foreign body can be done by snares, biopsy forceps, dormia basket or tip deflecting wires. Herein, we report percutaneous retrieval a fractured multipurpose diagnostic catheter by balloon assisted technique in a 10-months old baby while doing device closure of a patent ductus arteriosus. The catheter got fractured at the junction of shaft and the tip while manipulation to right ventricular outflow tract during antegrade wiring. The fractured proximal end was trapped at the tip of venous sheath which was successfully wired with percutaneous coronary angioplasty wire and retrieved with the help of 1.5Â ÃÂ 10Â mm and 2Â ÃÂ 10Â mm Maverick balloon (Boston scientific; USA). This is the first ever report of balloon assisted retrieval of intravascular foreign body.
