Iloprost-induced thrombocytopenia: a case proven by rechallenge.

In conclusion, although surgery remains the first choice to treat ROLC, a considerable number of patients are inoperable. EBRT is an alternative, but is hampered since the ROLC is effectively invisible. We report that the use of metallic clips placed during bronchoscopy can make ROLC visible for the radiation oncologist. The clips appear to be safe, well tolerated and removable in inoperable patients with ROLC who are candidates for EBRT. In the future, this technique could facilitate EBRT or even stereotactical beam radiotherapy in patients with ROLC. Prospective studies further investigating this technique are warranted.
