Bronchoscopic retrieval of an aspirated tooth following high‐speed motor vehicle accident

Key message A 28‐year‐old man aspirated a tooth into his right lower lobe bronchus following a high‐speed motor vehicle accident. Initial retrieval attempts failed with a flexible bronchoscope, but a cryoprobe successfully dislodged and retrieved the tooth. Cryoprobe should be considered for bronchoscopic foreign body removal when conventional methods are unsuccessful.
