RESUMO
Two cases of catheter-fragment embolism from a peripherical vein into the cardiac cavities and their extraction by means of a modified technique are presented. In the first case, the foreign body was located in the right cavities of the heart and it was extracted employing a modified technique by means of a Pigtail catheter and a Bioptom sequentially introduced percutaneously. In the second case, the embolus was located in the abdominal aorta and was extracted percutaneously with a Fogarty catheter. A review of the literature is made and, owing to the increasing frequency of the use of intravascular catheters, some recommendations are made in order to avoid this kind of complications.

Se presentan dos casos de emvolizacion de cuerpos extranos (cateteres) y su extraccion con tecnicas modificadas. En el primero de los casos, el cuerpo extrano estaba ubicado en las cavidades derechas del corazon y se logro su captura mediante una tecnica modificada que utiliza in cateter Pigtail y un bioptomo introducidos secuencialmente por via percutanea. En el segundo de los casos, el cuerpo extrano estaba localizado en la aorta abdominal y se logro su extraccion por via percutanea con la ayuda de un cateter Fogarty. Se revisa la literatura sobre el tema y dada la frecuencia cada vez mayor del uso de cateteres intravasculares, se dan recomendaciones para evitar este tipo de complicación
