A Case-Based Approach to Interventional Pulmonology: A Focus on Asian Perspectives , 2023 Original PDF

Asian perspectives are emphasized in a case-based approach to interventional pulmonary medicine. based on actual clinical case examples, focuses on several facets of interventional pulmonary medicine (IP). Our day-to-day practice is now governed by statistics and evidence-based medicine. Therefore, regardless of what the theory suggests, each case is distinct. Given the variations in etiologies as compared to other parts of the world, this Asian perspective on Interventional Pulmonology (IP) is also quite significant. Being the most populous region and having a high prevalence of several lung and airway illnesses, Asia is a fantastic source for basic and clinical research.The book’s content has been organized into four sections with the main goal of providing case-based problems and solutions. Bronchoscopic lung cryobiopsy (BLC), cone beam CT, linear and radial EBUS, navigation bronchoscopy, and other diagnostic IP techniques are included in Section A. The therapeutic rigid bronchoscopic procedures are the main topic of Section B. This covers current procedures including bronchial thermoplasty, bronchoscopic lung volume reduction, 3D printing, and microwave ablation in addition to airway stenting and laser bronchoscopy. Pleural operations are covered in Section C, with an emphasis on indwelling pleural catheters (IPC) and fibrinolytics. The procedures used often in pediatric IP are covered in Section D.The history of each case is given, as well as the clinical, radiological, bronchoscopic/pleuroscopic, and final results. Video examples of many of these cases are also available. Interventional pulmonologists, thoracic surgeons, surgical oncologists, and interventional radiologists will all benefit greatly from reading this book.
