Overview

Case report demonstrates novel retrieval strategies for fractured radial access catheters, highlighting implications for vascular interventions.

Key Points

  • Catheter fracture during retrieval led to serious complications, including ischemia.
  • Imaging confirmed vessel integrity after the retrieval of the fractured catheter.
  • Transfemoral access allowed successful recovery of the distal catheter fragment using a snare technique.
  • This case underscores the need for advanced retrieval strategies in radial access procedures.
