Sumario:The tunneled cuffed hemodialysis catheter is a valuable vascular access option for patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Healthcare providers have become more familiar with the insertion of medical devices, including central venous catheters, in their daily practice. The occurrence of foreign body fragmentation is rare with these catheters. This article presents a case in which a fracture of the distal portion of the hemodialysis catheter was inadvertently identified during a coronary angiography. Percutaneous removal of the fractured venous catheter was performed successfully using a loop snare catheter, which prevented the patient from experiencing further complications.
