“…If the FB is round, a Fogarty balloon catheter can be used to displace the FB upwards after inflating the catheter distal to the foreign body. [18][19] After the removal of the FB, the tracheobronchial tree must be inspected again for any remnants.…”

“…The incidence of thoracotomy increases with more peripheral location of foreign body and prior unsuccessful interventions (5). In addition to standard endoscopic techniques, the use of fluoroscopy has avoided the need for either bronchotomy or segmental pulmonary resection (6).…”

In this study, we investigated the role of fluoroscopy in the bronchoscopic removal of aspirated pins. Of 373 patients who underwent bronchoscopy for presumed tracheobronchial foreign body aspiration, 56 pin aspiration cases were selected and divided into two groups according to whether fluoroscopic guidance was required (group I) or not (group II). The localisation of foreign bodies, mortality and morbidity ratios and the duration of the procedures were investigated. Pin aspiration percentage was 15. Pins were mostly located in peripheral airways in group I, and in central airways in group II (p < 0.05). The mean duration of the procedure was 42 +/- 30 min in group I and 17 +/- 13 min in group II (p < 0.01). There was no mortality. Morbidity percentage was 7 in group I and 12 in group II (p > 0.05). No thoracotomy was required in any cases. Fluoroscopic guidance is safe and carries no additional morbidity and mortality and can be used for pins in the tracheobronchial tree.

“…Attempts at removal of distal foreign bodies are sometimes unsuccessful, however, and may even lead to impaction into a subsegmental bronchus. Flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopes, ureteral stone baskets, and fogarty catheters are instruments that can assist in the removal of difficult objects 3 . Rarely, a foreign body cannot be removed with conservative methods and a thoracotomy is required.…”
