Individualized Stent for Tracheal Fistula Complicating Tracheostomy Following Esophagectomy
This case illustrates that in complex scenarios where repeated bronchoscopy fails to detect an occult fistula, diagnostic manoeuvres such as temporary tracheostomy tube removal or CT imaging after oral contrast administration can play a critical diagnostic role and demonstrates the feasibility of deploying a customized, fully covered metal stent in a ...

Radial EBUS‐guided transbronchial cryobiopsy using a 1.1‐mm cryoprobe achieved a 75.3% diagnostic yield for peripheral lung lesions in 73 patients, with no severe hemorrhage. Protocolized balloon blocker use effectively controlled all bleeding events, supporting cryobiopsy as a feasible, safe alternative to conventional forceps biopsy.
