Although tracheostomy is a well-accepted procedure for airway management, some early and late complications may occur. Fracture of the tracheostomy tube (TT) is a rare complication, particularly in a patient with long-term use. Herein we report a case of fractured metallic TT migrating into the tracheobronchial tree. Rigid bronchoscopy was performed through the tracheostomy stoma and the fractured tube was successfully removed by a balloon catheter. Appropriate cleaning, routine careful examination, and scheduled replacement of the TT may help prevent this complication.
