The Removal of Intravascular Foreign Bodies by Intervention in Pediatrics

Endovascular retrieval of foreign bodies is a highly effective procedure, and complications are relatively low in pediatrics, even during the neonatal period and in low-birth-weight cases, making it a preferable alternative to surgical extraction.Clinical ImpactBy documenting favorable outcomes across a diverse group, it encourages clinicians to adopt catheter-based approaches more confidently. The use of tools like snare loops and balloon-tipped guidewires in this population reflects procedural innovation and adaptability. Early, minimally invasive intervention may reduce morbidity and hospital stay. These findings can influence clinical decision-making and protocol development in pediatric cardiovascular care, particularly in centers equipped for interventional procedures.
