Figure 2 Digital subtraction angiography images.
A: The main pulmonary artery and right pulmonary artery showed tubular shadow (orange arrow); B-F: A 5F pigtail catheter was selected, and the dislodged catheter was towed to the inferior vena cava after the two catheters were crossed by rotating the catheter outside the body according to the natural bending at the front end of the catheter, The intravenous infusion port catheter was then successfully removed using a 5F gooseneck trap (orange arrows).
