Abstract: The use of central venous accesses in clinical practice is becoming more frequent. They are used for the administration of drugs, chemotherapy or parenteral diets. They are also used to hemodynamic monitoring, for the implantation of pacemakers or, still, for use as an access route for the endovascular treatments. It is recommended the extraction of all foreign bodies diagnosed, because this will prevent potentially serious and fatal complications. This study is focused on the migration of catheters since they represent the majority of cases of embolization. We present one of the largest published series of removal of foreign bodies with endovascular techniques.
