This third edition offers comprehensive, up-to-date coverage of all areas of interventional pulmonology, a minimally invasive endoscopic method for diagnosing and treating lung disorders. The text is divided into nine sections on the major areas of interventional pulmonology, including basic bronchoscopy, lung cancer staging, tracheobronchial obstructions, endobronchial treatments for asthma and emphysema, as well as a new section on interventional procedures during the COVID-19 pandemic. Chapters explore specific procedures and techniques, including medical thoracoscopy, flexible and rigid bronchoscopy, endobronchial ultrasound, and electromagnetical navigation with coverage of history, indications and contraindications, up-to-date, evidence-based reviews, and recommendations.
