ABSTRACT
An 80-year-old man had a guidewire in his aorta since catheter laboratory accident 4 years ago. He recently started to suffer mental distress and underwent coronary angiography that revealed an entrapped guidewire and significant stenoses in each of three major coronary arteries. The guidewire could not be removed using transcatheter technique. Thus, after careful consideration, we decided to perform entrapped guidewire removal through minimally invasive surgical approach instead of median sternotomy. Post-operative course was uneventful. Although surgical approach should be tailored in each case, minimally invasive approach can be a choice for entrapped guidewire removal.
