Percutaneous retrieval of a broken pacemaker fragment from the superior caval vein in a child
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 19 August 2008
Summary
The increase in use of endovascular devices in the treatment and diagnosis of malformations of the cardiovascular system has created a need for another device suitable for retrieval of dislodged catheters or fragments in children. We describe the use of a snare made of nickel-titanium (nitinol) cable for retrieval of a broken pacemaker electrode lodged in the superior caval vein.
