Extraction of an intrapleural foreign body with a flexible endoscope

JP Moore, SA Fendley and CB Rodning

A polyethylene catheter inadvertently sheared off during a diagnostic thoracentesis was successfully extracted with a flexible endoscope. Coincidentally, excellent visualization of the entire pleural space was noted. The procedure was performed with the patient under general anesthesia and sterile technique was employed. The patient sustained no untoward consequence. Coelomic analysis with a flexible endoscope may be appropriate in other diagnostic and therapeutic circumstances.
