> Boston Scientific has recalled (Class 1) all models of its thrombectomy Fetch 2 Aspiration Catheter, used during procedures to remove small blood clots from coronary arteries. The recall is based on complaints about shaft breakage during the procedure, and the broken section was either removed while still partially attached to the catheter shaft or retrieved with a snare, without further patient complications, a [recall notice](http://www.fda.gov/Safety/Recalls/ucm495411.htm?ref=fdaweb.com) says. The most severe potential outcome of this breakage is embolism of device fragments, which could lead to obstruction of blood flow or additional intervention to remove a device fragment surgically.
