Radial Retrieval of Twisted Diagnosis Catheter Using Mother in Child Technique

Ait Mokhtar Omar

Coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) over the radial approach are becoming more frequent and are recommended by the European Society of Cardiology. The radial approach leads to reduce cost because unable ambulatory angiography and less bleeding especially in elderly who are at high risk of bleeding complication, in this population with high frequency of tortuous access routes, pronounced catheter manipulation may structurally damage the catheter shaft and facilitate twisting and bending. We present case where a twisted coronary catheter became stuck in the radial artery and describe an original percutaneous retrieval technique using mother in child technique.
