“Trap technique”: A new multimodal approach for the treatment of intracardiac foreign body retrieval

In medical practice, the retrieval of intravascular foreign bodies (IFBs) represents a challenge and often requires a multidisciplinary approach. We report a case of a 65-year-old male patient with a metallic guide wire extended from the right subclavian artery to the left ventricle. An interventional radiology team employed the "trap technique", with a combination of a retrieval device and angiographic catheters, which results crucial in this case. Proper device management and imaging assessment are essentil to the successful retrieval of IFBs. Further research is warranted to refine IFB retrieval techniques and evaluate long-term outcomes.
