Abstract
A retained fractured segment of an intravascular ultrasound catheter in the coronary artery during percutaneous coronary intervention is a rare occurrence. We describe our experience with successful retrieval of a fractured IVUS catheter fragment in a previously stented left anterior descending artery using a distal embolic protection device.
