Tanner I Kim, Valentyna Kostiuk, Edouard Aboian*

Intravascular foreign body complications continue to increase with the advent of endovascular procedures. These represent both iatrogenic and non-medical foreign bodies, and most commonly present within the venous system. Numerous reports have demonstrated efficacy with an endovascular approach to foreign body retrieval. In this mini-review, we review the literature on venous non-iatrogenic foreign bodies, as well as endovascular strategies for removal.
