[Interventional Management]
- Procedural step:
¢¥Route Used: Left  Femoral

¢¥Vascular Access Sheath: 7F & 14F
¢¥Guide Wires:  Teremu 0.035¡° x 260 cm Exchange wire
                                Floppy
¢¥Andra 20 mm Snare

Left femoral access was done. A JR 6F guide catheter was used with 7F & 14F vascular access sheaths were taken. The broken sheath part was accessed with Teremu 0.035" x 260 cm exchange wire & Floppy wires. Then a snare was introduced through the sheath & the broken sheath was caught by the snare and it was taken out from the body slowly & carefully. The total procedure was uneventful.
