Abstract

Introduction: Following mitral valve replacement and subsequent mediastinal exploration, a pulmonary artery catheter was inadvertently sewn to the cardiac wall near the junction of the superior vena cava and right atrium. The electrophysiology service was consulted to aid in removal of the catheter. Excimer lasers have been used for pacemaker/implantable cardiac defibrillator lead extraction, but this case discusses the use of a mechanical cutting sheath coupled with a snare device for removal of an entrapped pulmonary artery catheter. This represents a novel approach to removal of catheters, leads, or other objects that may be sewn to the vascular or cardiac wall.
