xlomafota13 shared this article with you from Inoreader Intractable Bleeding Following an Awake Bedside Injection Laryngoplasty in a Patient on KVAD ECMO Via Journal of Voice Awake injection laryngoplasty (IL) is becoming increasingly utilized in the inpatient setting, especially as a therapeutic option for patients with vocal fold immobility immediately following cardiothoracic surgery. While prior studies consistently demonstrate complication rates below 3%, significant bleeding has not been reported as a major complication in any awake IL case series.
