Several techniques have been developed to retrieve catheter and guide wire fragments that have embolized to the heart and pulmonary vasculature. In most instances, retrieval of the embolized fragments is performed soon after the event has occurred. In this report, we summarize our experience with the removal of these fragments in 3 children after a significant amount of time had elapsed since the time of embolization. The embolized catheter and guide wire fragments were removed without any complications. We also describe the techniques used for their removal, and the problems encountered during the removal of these "old" foreign bodies.
