    DURING AN ATRIOVENTRICULAR NODAL REENTRANT TACHYCARDIA PROCEDURE, THE CATHETER BECAME TANGLED AROUND ITSELF WHEN GOING UP THE ILIAC VEIN. IT WAS ATTEMPTED TO UNTANGLE IT BUT SUPPORT FROM AN INTERVENTIONAL SURGEON WAS REQUIRED. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO REMOVE THE CATHETER, IT BROKE AND THE KNOT THAT HAD FORMED WAS STUCK IN THE VEIN. A VASCULAR SURGEON WAS THEN CALLED TO REMOVE THE KNOT THAT REMAINED. THE KNOT WAS REMOVED WITH EASE AFTER THE INITIAL INCISION WAS CUT A LITTLE LARGER THAN BEFORE.
