Abstract:
In this case presentation the advantages of a new method of cryoextraction of an endobronchial lipoma are demonstrated. With an improved probe with high mechanical stability large areas of the lipoma can be frozen and removed from the bronchial wall. The tissue is directly extracted from the tumor. Cryorecanalization permits during one procedure the reopening of an endoluminal airway obstruction.
