RÉSUMÉ
The application of cryotherapy in the extraction of airway blood clots has gained increased precedence over Fogarty catheter and biopsy forceps. The cryoprobe, passed through a flexible bronchoscope, adheres and aids in the removal of foreign body through cryoadhesion within minutes. Besides blood clots, this method was found to be extremely efficient in removing different kinds of foreign bodies including food particles like peanuts, pills, and inspissated mucus.
