From: Recombinant factor VIIa and factor VIII treatment for acquired factor VIII deficiency: a case of repeated thrombotic endotracheal occlusion in a mechanically ventilated patient

Figure 1

A bronchial thrombus critically obstructed the airways in a long-term ventilated patient under recombinant factor VIIa and factor VIII therapy. (a) The thrombus (arrow) was still attached to the tip of the removed endotracheal tube. (b) The detached thrombus (arrow) was approximately 20 × 70 mm. With its solid consistency, it occluded the tip of the endotracheal tube and the airways like a cork.
