What is interventional pulmonology?
Interventional pulmonology is a specialized field of medicine that diagnoses and treats a wide range of advanced respiratory diseases. From the evaluation, staging and therapy of lung cancers to the treatment of structural airway disorders, interventional pulmonology techniques often reduce recovery time, complication rates and discomfort associated with more invasive procedures.
