Endobronchial Ultrasound-transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS): Used to access mediastinal and hilar lymph nodes to diagnose and stage lung cancer
Electromagnetic Navigation Bronchoscopy (ENB): Used to sample lung nodules and masses.
Rigid Bronchoscopy: Performed in operating room to open airways blocked with tumor or remove foreign bodies.
Bronchoscopy with endobronchial & transbronchial biopsies: Performed to diagnose benign and malignant airway and lung disorders
ND-YAG Laser and Argon Plasma Coagulation: Used to treat benign and malignant central airway obstruction
Airway Stent Placement: To relieve benign and malignant airway obstruction
Photodynamic Therapy: Used to relieve malignant central airway obstruction
Whole Lung Lavage: For treatment of pulmonary alveolar proteinosis
ADVANCED PROCEDURES
Bronchial Thermoplasty: For patients with moderate-severe persistent asthma not controlled with optimization of medical therapy, bronchial thermoplasty is a minimally invasive procedure that has been proven to decrease the frequency of severe exacerbations, emergency department visits, and hospitalizations for asthma.
Bronchoscopic Lung Volume Reduction (BLVR) with Zephyr Valves: For symptomatic patients with emphysema and significant hyperinflation, the recently FDA-approved Zephyr valves can be used to induce collapse of an emphysematous lobe to achieve volume reduction and improvement in lung function, exercise capacity, and quality of life.
