ABSTRACT

Relatamos o caso de um paciente com cateter vascular de longa permanência embolizado para o ventrículo direito. Este caso ganha peculiaridade por estarem as duas extremidades do cateter indisponíveis para serem laçadas, dificultando a sua captura pelas técnicas convencionais. Descrevemos um novo método para resgatar o corpo estranho através de sua porção central, utilizando apenas um cateter com dois sistemas independentes de "laço" e de "gancho".


We report on the case of a patient with a long term vascular catheter embolized into the right ventricle. This case had unique characteristics since both ends of the catheter were inaccessible for snare, which made it difficult to capture them using conventional techniques. We describe a new method to retrieve the foreign body through its mid-point portion, using a single catheter with two independent snare and hook systems.
