Abstract
Retention of guidewire during a neurointervention procedure is extremely rare and potentially lethal. We report a successful operation on an aortic rupture caused by a retained guidewire from a neurointervention procedure 2 years ago. During the operation, we took out the guidewire from both the aortic arch and femoral artery. Postoperative treatment was uneventful. At the 10-month follow-up, the patient remained asymptomatic and computed tomography showed no abnormality.
