A modified loop snare technique for the retrieval of a dislodged central venous catheter

A dislodged central venous port catheter is typically retrieved using an endovascular approach; however, the retrieval procedure poses a challenge for vascular specialists. The desired outcomes can be successfully achieved with the loop snare technique, an endovascular treatment method for the retrieval of a dislodged central venous port catheter. Herein, we present a case wherein the modified loop snare technique was used for successfully retrieving a dislodged central venous port catheter by reversing the tip of the guidewire inside the right ventricle and advancing it back into the snare.
