We present a case of a 69‐year‐old male patient who, after uneventful coronary artery bypass grafting, had a Swan‐Ganz catheter entrapped in the tricuspid apparatus. An original technique to remove the catheter percutaneously was used after unsuccessful attempts using a conventional lasso technique. © 2008 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
