Impacted pediatric tracheobronchial thrombus is an uncommon diagnosis. There are no clearly proven therapeutic options for airway casts due to a similar process, plastic bronchitis. Cryotherapy, specifically cryoextraction, has shown potential as a therapeutic option in adults with tracheobronchial thrombus and cast. We describe the novel application of this method in a complex pediatric patient.

A 66-year-old Japanese woman developed pulseless electrical activity following an acute pulmonary embolism and was treated with thrombolytic therapy. She remained hemodynamically unstable and therefore underwent extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). While receiving treatment with ECMO, blood clots induced by endobronchial hemorrhage caused tracheobronchial airway obstruction, leading to ventilatory defect.
