title: Removal of broken catheter piece with snare device during endovascular treatment of post-traumatic brachial artery pseudo-aneurysm.

In our case, we present a brachial artery pseudo-aneurysm that was treated with endovascular stent implantation, and removal of a broken catheter part with a three-dimensional snare device.
