Despite these advancements, operators continue to encounter unforeseen hardware-related complications stemming from various factors. Globally, reports of broken or dislodged fragments of hardware—such as catheters, guidewires, angioplasty balloons, and stents—have become increasingly common. These fragments may result in life-threatening consequences. Accordingly, interventionists must remain vigilant and proficient in various retrieval techniques. We present two cases involving successful percutaneous retrieval of broken, dislodged, and embolized angiographic catheters from the coronary and renal arteries, each performed using a distinct technique. https://jthc.tums.ac.ir/index.php/jthc/article/view/2275 https://jthc.tums.ac.ir/index.php/jthc/article/download/2275/1217
