A Comprehensive Guide to Interventional Pulmonology: A Case-Based Approach with Asian Perspectives

Edited by Jamalul Rahaman and Tinku Joseph, this book focuses on the clinical aspects of Interventional Pulmonology (IP) using real-life case scenarios, highlighting the significance of evidence-based medicine and statistics in modern medical practice.

In Asia, where the population is dense and airway and lung diseases are prevalent, a unique perspective on IP is essential. This book fills that gap, offering insights into the etiologies and pathologies specific to the region. The diversity of cases presented in the book makes it an invaluable resource for fundamental and clinical research.

Organization and Content

The book is divided into four sections, each focusing on a different aspect of IP:

• Section A: Diagnostic IP Procedures
  • Linear and radial EBUS (Endobronchial Ultrasound)
  • Navigation bronchoscopy
  • Bronchoscopic lung cryobiopsy (BLC)
  • Cone beam CT
• Section B: Therapeutic Rigid Bronchoscopic Procedures
  • Airway stenting
  • Laser bronchoscopy
  • Bronchial thermoplasty
  • Bronchoscopic lung volume reduction
  • 3D printing
  • Microwave ablation
• Section C: Pleural Procedures
  • Indwelling pleural catheters (IPC)
  • Fibrinolytics
• Section D: Common Paediatric IP Procedures

Each case is presented with detailed history, including clinical, radiological, bronchoscopic/pleuroscopic findings, and final outcomes. Many cases also include video illustrations, making the book a valuable resource for interventional pulmonologists, thoracic surgeons, surgical oncologists, and interventional radiologists.
