Abstract
Two cases are described of percutaneous removel of trapped, broken steerable PTCA guidewire. One case described breakage of a guidewire inside the ascending aorta leaving a free end, which is retrieved using the snare loop technique. The second case described retrieval of an intact yet unwound wire through the guiding catheter using a snare loop wire.Keywords
