An alternative approach to management of Fogarty catheter disruption associated with endobronchial foreign body extraction.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Fogarty balloon catheter is a useful adjunct in removing aspirated foreign bodies, but its use is not without risks. A case is presented of Fogarty catheter disruption while attempting to remove a foreign body. The resulting debris in the distal airway was inaccessible to bronchoscopic retrieval. An effective treatment plan is outlined to deal with this problem.

Airway obstruction due to blood clots is clinically suspected in a patient with acute respiratory failure if the patient has hemoptysis. However, one third of patients with acute endobronchial obstruction due to blood clots may present without obvious hemoptysis.1,2 Management involve...

Endobronchial foreign body impaction is a common occurrence, especially in the pediatric population. Bronchoscopic techniques are the standard of care for their retrieval. However, the most distally located foreign bodies are often difficult to retrieve using these techniques. A novel approach using biplane fluoroscopy, with tools usually used for intravascular foreign body retrieval, has been ...
متن کاملExtraction of a Large Central Airway Foreign Body Using Flexible Bronchoscopy Combined with an Endobronchial Blocker
Adult foreign body (FB) aspiration is an uncommon but potentially fatal event. Options for extraction include flexible bronchoscopy (FLXB), rigid bronchoscopy (RB), and surgical extraction. We report the case of a large, smooth aspirated rock causing airway obstruction in an elderly male. RB is generally the preferred approach for extraction of a large complex FB; however, due to its size, the ...
