title: [Percutaneous transluminal removal of embolised catheter fragments (author's transl)].
abstract: Seven patients had a percutaneous transluminal removal of catheter fragments using a Dormier stone-basket within the last 14 months. An immediate intervention should be performed because serious complications are expected from catheter embolization. The percutaneous transluminal catheter retrieval as a method of low risk and of little discomfort to the patient should always precede surgical procedures. The Dormier-basket proved to be a successful and easy handling catheter instrument in all our cases.
