Abstract
We report a case of percutaneous retrieval of a misplaced embolization coil which threatened the segmental arterial supply of a single kidne y. The renal artery was steeply angulated due to a spinal scoliosis bu t retrieval was rapidly performed using an Amplatz gooseneck snare. Th is device is particularly useful when the arterial anatomy is tortuous .
