title: [The percutaneous retrieval of vascular foreign bodies].
abstract: Intravascular foreign bodies can cause significant complications: thrombosis, pulmonary and peripheral embolism, etc. It is therefore necessary to remove them, and this may be accomplished through surgery or by means of radiotherapy techniques. In the past year we have percutaneously extracted three foreign bodies originating in vascular access pathways.
