Orbital trauma can result in significant complications, particularly when accompanied by foreign body entrapment. Wooden foreign bodies are rare but carry a high risk of infection and chronic inflammation. In these cases, immediate surgical intervention is critical for restoring orbital anatomy and preventing complications.

Despite advancements in endovascular equipment, life-threatening procedure-related complications, including arterial perforation, remain a concern. In particular, microguidewire entrapment in perforating arteries poses a significant risk of arterial avulsion injury. However, limited guidance exists on effectively managing such scenarios, and to the best of our knowledge, no cases of successful resolution of entrapment using nimodipine have been reported to date.

Treatment of impending paradoxical embolism with systemic thrombolysis and cerebral embolic protection: a case report.

Eur Heart J Case Rep

August 2025

Department of Internal Medicine (Di.M.I.), Chair of Cardiovascular Disease, University of Genoa, Largo Rosanna Benzi 10, 16132 Genoa, Italy.

Background: Impending paradoxical embolism is a rare and life-threatening occurrence and evidence guiding its optimal management is lacking.

Case Presentation: A 73-year-old man presenting with ST-elevation myocardial infarction was diagnosed with impending paradoxical embolism, as a large thrombus was visualized entrapped in a patent foramen ovale. We performed systemic thrombolysis after deployment of a cerebral protection device, which resulted in complete dissolution of the thrombus without major thromboembolic events.

Objective: To describe a novel balloon-assisted intraluminal technique for the removal of a kinked catheter during transradial coronary angiography complicated by subclavian artery tortuosity.

Key Steps: Catheter kinking was recognized during transradial access, refractory to standard maneuvers. A retrieval attempt with snare via femoral access failed.
