Endovascular removal of foreign bodies is a procedure used to remove objects that have entered the blood vessels, such as emboli, catheters, or trauma-related debris. The procedure involves inserting a catheter into the affected vessel and using various devices, such as snares or retrieval devices, to remove the foreign object.
This minimally invasive approach reduces the need for open surgery, provides faster recovery times, and lowers the risk of complications like vessel injury or infection.
