Cyanoacrylate glue foreign body after CT-guided localization of a pulmonary nodule during video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery: a case report

A tracheal foreign body is a common airway aspiration that creates an emergency, which often causes unobserved respiratory problems and requires management. Iatrogenic tracheal foreign bodies are rarely observed, which results in tracheal obstruction. If the foreign body were removed from the trache...

More Information
Summary:A tracheal foreign body is a common airway aspiration that creates an emergency, which often causes unobserved respiratory problems and requires management. Iatrogenic tracheal foreign bodies are rarely observed, which results in tracheal obstruction. If the foreign body were removed from the tracheobronchial system, it would save lives. A similar case of a tracheal foreign body was focused on, which was caused by medical glue used during preoperative computed tomography localization of pulmonary nodules. The foreign body was deposited in the right upper bronchi, accidentally discovered after anesthesia when a double-lumen tube was located by fiber bronchoscopy. Following a video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery, the foreign body was removed using a respiratory endoscopy without subsequent adverse consequences for the patient. There is a risk of complications from iatrogenic airway foreign bodies for preoperative localization of pulmonary nodules by injecting cyanoacrylate glue.
