| Abstract: | The plastic coating of a hydrophilic guide wire tore off during introduction through a beveled single wall arterial entry needle in a 75 year old male. The sheared piece of coating got stuck in his femoropopliteal bypass. It was removed by means of a modified arterial filter set from the contralateral side. The technique of its removal is described. |
