Catheter kinking is not an uncommon scenario during cardiac catheterization via transradial access in patients with tortuous vascular anatomy. Several noninvasive and invasive methods have been described to unkink and retrieve the kinked catheter out of the vessel. We present a novel mother-daughter technique to retrieve a kinked radial artery catheter. Copyright © 2024 Wiley Periodicals LLC.
