Core Tip	Catheter migration has been reported as a delayed complication of peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC). Retrieval by the endovascular technique using a snare is usually attempted in cases of PICC migration, but there have been some difficulties in retrieving the broken catheter. We encountered a patient with an ectopic PICC in the left pulmonary artery; the ectopic PICC could not be retrieved by the usual method using a snare, but was successful retrieved using a snare and suture technique. The endovascular suture technique is a useful method to retrieve a dislocated or broken catheter and should be considered by interventional cardiologists.
