Abstract:
Removal of a foreign body in the pulmonary circulation is typically attempted by an endovascular approach as the first attempt. The pulmonary artery must be occluded either manually or with cardiopulmonary bypass during the procedure. Here, we report a case of video-assisted thoracic surgery to remove a foreign body from the right pulmonary artery under percutaneous balloon artery occlusion.
