[Use of cryoextraction in different types of airway obstruction].

With the development of mechanically stable cryoprobes, direct endoscopic removal of tissue from the bronchial system with cryotherapy is now possible. Tissue is frozen to the tip of the probe and removed by pulling on the probe together with the fiberscope. This procedure, also referred to as cryoextraction, additionally provides good quality biopsy specimens for histopathological examination. We report here on four patients with different forms of bronchial obstruction, in whom cryoextraction was performed for rapid recanalization. In addition to the immediate effect, the procedure has few complications and is cost-effective. Indications were mucoid impaction, foreign body aspiration, removal of suprastomal granulation tissue prior to decannulation after prolonged mechanical ventilation, and obstruction of the trachea and the main bronchi by a carcinosarcoma. In the latter case, the diagnosis was additionally based on a specimen obtained by cryobiopsy.
