Abstract: (12382 Views)
Background: There are many methods for removal of tracheobronchial foreign bodies
but there are many situations where removal of a foreign body seems impossible and
may require a major surgical procedure. Familiarity with each method improves
physician decision making.
Case: A 17 months old baby with a history of foreign body aspiration suffered from long term pneumonia. There was a round shape foreign body in bronchoscopic view that could not be removed with standard methods, but was removed by application of Fogarty catheter Conclusion: Removal of round, spherical foreign bodies may be performed by Fogarty Catheter preventing surgical intervention.
