Abstract
Catheterization and angiography heart's cavities are widespread performing to treatment and diagnostic different cardiovascular diseases, however these methods associated with specific iatrogenic complications, such as fragmentation of catheters, guidewires and other used instruments , which can lead to immigrate fragment parts to different areas in cardiovascular system. As a rule, removing radiopaque parts has no difficulties when they are free (no adhesion to tissues). However, adhesion of foreign bodies occurs as a result of their long staying in a human body, in these cases removing of radiopaque parts using endovascular methods may be difficult particularly when parts fixed to heart's wall. Multiple infusion catheters which used in children have a small diameters (3–4 F) and sometimes made of soft latex materials, particularly the catheters which used in port systems. The use of traditional approaches to remove fragments of foreign bodies in such patients is difficult and sometimes impossible, due to the lack of free ends, thrombus and soft latex catheter materials. Using different types of snares may lead to destruction of the foreign body into smaller fragments. In this case report , we presented an original method of removing foreign bodies in the form of latex infusion catheters in two children, this method allowed us to remove fragments efficiently and safely from the cardiovascular system, even with their significant duration in the child's body.
