Introduction
A fracture of guide-wires used in percutaneous coronary interventions
and other intervention cardiology procedures is a very rare clinical
entity. These guidewires may also be used based upon the operator’s
choice during other cardiac procedures like cardiac resynchronization
therapy implant and other intervention techniques. The reported
incidence of fracture of these guide-wires even after post coronary
interventions is still uncommon and reported to be incidental in only
0.1-0.2% of all the cases [1, 2]. We are reporting the case as it’s
an extraordinarily delayed presentation of retained intervention
guide-wire post cardiac resynchronization therapy which was successfully
retrieved from left-arm deltoid muscle.
