Interventional bronchoscopy has advanced significantly, with new techniques like laser therapy, stent placement, and endobronchial ultrasound. This review covers their applications and indications for improved patient care.
Area of Science:
- Pulmonology and Respiratory Medicine
- Interventional Endoscopy
Context:
- Significant advancements in interventional bronchoscopy over the past decade.
- Emergence of sophisticated endoscopic techniques for airway management.
Purpose:
- To review the indications and applications of key interventional bronchoscopy techniques.
- To provide an overview of tracheobronchial laser, endoprosthesis placement, and endobronchial ultrasound bronchoscopy.
Summary:
- Tracheobronchial laser therapy offers precise tissue ablation.
- Endoprosthesis placement (stenting) is crucial for airway stenosis management.
- Endobronchial ultrasound bronchoscopy (EBUS) enhances diagnostic capabilities through real-time imaging.
Impact:
- Highlights the expanding role of minimally invasive endoscopic procedures in respiratory care.
- Aims to guide clinicians in selecting appropriate bronchoscopic interventions.
- Facilitates better understanding and utilization of advanced bronchoscopic tools.

Bronchoscopy
Description
Bronchoscopy is a procedure that involves direct visualization of the larynx, trachea, and bronchi for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. A flexible fiber optic or rigid bronchoscope is used to carry out the procedure. The fiber-optic bronchoscope is more frequently used due...
