Résumé

Currently, effective methods for the treatment of stenoses and closures of the respiratory tract from exophytic tumours include laser therapy with the Nd-YAG laser, mechanical recanalization (rigid bronchoscopic debulking), photodynamic therapy (PDT) and cryotherapy. Endobronchial cryotherapy with its application of extreme cold to induce tumour necrosis is an established method in interventional pulmonology. However, previous applications of cryotherapy have not been immediately effective, requiring a second clean-up procedure several days later to finally obtain sufficient recanalisation. For overcoming the lack of immediate efficacy the authors tried to immediately extract tumour tissue with the flexible probe after tumour freezing. The authors refer to this new application of low temperatures as cryo-recanalization.
