Robotic-Assisted Endovascular Pulmonary Artery Foreign Body Retrieval: A Case Report.

As intravascular robotics technology continues to evolve, so do the potential applications. The present case describes the use of the Magellan Robotic System within the pulmonary artery. A 61-year-old female was referred for retrieval of a transected port catheter, which had embolized into the pulmonary artery. After a failed attempt using a conventional technique, retrieval was ultimately successful with assistance of the Magellan system. The unique navigational capabilities and stability of the system may make it a valuable tool in pulmonary artery interventions.
