dc.description.abstractIntroduction: Electrocautery with a snare probe offers a tool for the treatment of endobronchial polyps. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the efficacy of the snare probe in patients undergoing rigid bronchoscopy due to central airway obstruction. Methods: This retrospective descriptive study included patients who underwent rigid bronchoscopy with an electrocautery snare probe for the diagnosis and/or treatment of endobronchial polyps in an interventional pulmonology unit. Results: The mean age of the 47 patients (38 men) with endobronchial polypoid lesions was 61.5 years. Six lesions (12.8%) were located in the trachea, 6 (12.8%) in the right main bronchus, 11 (23.4%) in the left main bronchus, and 24 (51.1%) in the lobar bronchi. Twenty-eight lesions (59.5%) were malignant. Prior to the procedure, 6 (12.8%) patients had grade 1 obstruction, 6 (12.8%) had grade 2 obstruction, 15 (31.9%) had grade 3 obstruction, and 20 (42.6%) had grade 4 obstruction. In terms of airway obstruction after the procedure, grade 1 was present in 46 (97.9%) patients and grade 2 was present in 1 (2.1%) patient. No major complication developed in 93.6% of the patients. During a mean follow-up period of 48 months, 85.1% of the patients did not experience recurrence. Conclusion: Our results demonstrate that the snare probe can be used to effectively and reliably establish airway patency in patients with central airway obstruction due to endobronchial polypoid lesions. © 2023 SPLF and Elsevier Masson SASen_US
