【 摘 要 】

The incidence of guiding catheter tip fracture, is quite rare during percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI). Retained broken catheter tip in coronary artery and circulation can result in serious complications such as thrombosis, embolism, acute occlusion and myocardial infarction, arrhythmias and sepsis. It is mandatory to remove the fractured catheter as soon as possible to avoid these complications. Transcatheter removal is the treatment of choice. If percutaneous removal is failed, surgical intervention is advised.
