This article summarises the highlights in the field of interventional pneumology from the congresses of the German Society of Pneumology (DGP) in March 2024 and the Austrian Society of Pneumology (ÖGP) in September 2024. Developments and numerous studies in the field of endoscopy and interventional pneumology were presented in the diverse programmes of these two congresses. New bronchoscopic techniques for the diagnosis of mediastinal lymphadenopathy were discussed, innovative navigation techniques and the use of new imaging techniques for the diagnosis of peripheral pulmonary nodules were presented and knowledge in the field of endoscopic lung volume reduction in emphysema patients was expanded.
