Description
Teresa Bretones del Pino leads a 2026 case report on freezing out airway clots after a valve-in-valve procedure. An 84-year-old woman received a new tricuspid valve inside her old one, then suddenly coughed severe blood with falling oxygen and hard ventilation. A camera scope entered the airways.
A cryoprobe froze and pulled out large blocking clots from the bronchi. Bleeding returned, so a second session followed 72 hours later. Breathing then improved fast, the tube came out, and she left hospital stable after seven days. The technique offers rescue when standard bleeding control fails.
