Retrieving entrapped guidewire using rotablation technique: case series and literature review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The present article summarizes three cases of retrieving entrapped guidewire using rotablation technique.

Case summary

All three cases pertained to guidewire being fractured and entrapped during percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs) for right coronary artery (RCA) chronic total occlusion in a local hospital. In Case 1, two fractured filaments connecting to the entrapped guidewire could be clearly seen. One filament was in the right brachial artery and the other one was in the ascending aorta. In Case 2, the operator applied buddy wire technique during PCI but forgot to withdraw the second wire before stenting.
