Abstract

In this publication, we present our technique with 14 cases for clot removal using a laparoscopic method under local anesthesia that we have called the procedure “extra-corporeal clot extrusion” (ECCE). The result was that laparoscopic “ECCE” should be a considered option for management of catheter malfunction due to fibrin clot.
