Abstract

Extraction techniques are gaining increasing attention in proportion to the increasing range of endovascular procedures. The choice of the instrumentarium depends, among other things, on whether the object to be extracted is a foreign body (most often a catheter) with or without a free end. This communication offers our experience with a combined extractor of our own manufacture allowing both central and lateral grasping techniques. The technique of catheterization is illustrated in one case.
