- Title
Catheter-Based Untying of a Knot on an Electrode Catheter.
- Authors
SOCHMAN, JAN; HORACEK, ALES; VRBSKA, JANA
- Abstract
This case report describes an unusual complication: a knot formed on an electrode catheter, which became entangled in a pelvic vein and could not be withdrawn. The case was managed by a new catheter technique allowing the knot to be untied and subsequently removing it via the insertion site without the need for surgical intervention. (PACE 2003; 26[Pt. I]:1548–1550).
