SNARING
What is a snare and what can it be used for?
The snare is a catheter with a loop at its end that is intended for the recovery of intravascular or intracardiac material.
The snare is generally used to retrieve the ends of central catheters or implantable chambers that have become detached, as illustrated below.
How does a snaring procedure work?
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia with the puncture at the groin or jugular level. A catheter is introduced to the material to be extracted then the snareis used to catch it and remove it. The procedure lasts about an hour. Discharge is possible the same day after a monitoring time determined by the doctor.
What are the risks of the procedure?
The risks are very low and related to any catheterization procedure. One can cite the hematoma at the puncture site especially. That said, the risk of remaining with intravascular material exceeds that of the snaring procedure.
