An unusual problem during surgical removal of a broken guidewire.

L Maat1, L A van Herwerden, M van den Brand, E Bos.   

Abstract

At operation, it proved impossible using traction alone to remove an angioplasty guidewire that was lodged in an intermediate artery. The problem was solved by passing a Teflon catheter over the wire, thus protecting the left main coronary artery while freeing the entrapped distal end of the guidewire.
