AbstractA case in which a foreign body located in the peripheral airway of the lung was removed by flexible bronchoscopy using a virtual bronchoscopy navigation (VBN) system has been reported. The patient was a 60-year-old man. Chest radiography revealed an incidental foreign body in the left lower lung. Chest computed tomography with 1.0-mm slices was used to create a VBN system and confirm the foreign body in left B9biiαy, which was removed by flexible bronchoscopy. Thus, peripheral foreign bodies can be safely removed using flexible bronchoscopy by creating a VBN system in advance.
