Abstract
The distal end of a flexible, steerable guidewire broke during an attempted percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty of the left anterior descending coronary artery and was retained in the left main coronary artery. It was successfully removed surgically. Etiology of, management of, and precautions for avoiding this complication are discussed.Mesh:
