Abstract

Life-threatening event due to central airway obstruction caused by huge blood clot formation with profuse ongoing bleeding its very challenging condition to manage. Interventional pulmonologist must be aware of this situation which can lead to respiratory failure. There are several choices to treat this unlikely situation, for example, flexible bronchoscopy with forceps, bronchial lavage, and suction. This is a case with postsurgical tracheostomy bleeding which caused a giant blood clot formation in disseminated intravascular coagulation due to severe sepsis in end-stage renal disease patient, successfully managed with cryoextraction and argon plasma coagulation. Combinations of two interventional pulmonology approach (Cryotherapy and Argon Plasma Coagulation) can give a quick, safe and cost-effective life-saving treatment.
