Impaction of an Endobronchial Watanabe Spigot Within a Tracheostomy Tube

ABSTRACT A 78‐year‐old woman underwent endobronchial Watanabe spigot (EWS) placement for post‐cryobiopsy bleeding and subsequently required a tracheostomy. Two months later, a migrated EWS was incidentally found impacted within her uncuffed tracheostomy tube. This case highlights the importance of follow‐up imaging and careful inspection of tracheostomy tubes for possible spigot impaction.
