Case-Based Approach in Interventional Pulmonology: A Focus on Asian Perspectives focuses on various aspects of interventional pulmonology (IP) based on clinical cases. Today, evidence-based medicine and evidence-based medicine govern our daily work. Each case is therefore unique, whatever the expected demand. The Asian perspective on interventional pulmonology (IP) is very important considering the different etiologies compared to other regions of the world. Asia, with its large population and prevalence of certain diseases of the respiratory tract and lungs, represents a formidable area for basic research and treatment. The contents of the book are divided into four parts according to the main points based on the objective. Conditions and solutions. Section A contains IP diagnostic techniques such as linear and radial EBUS, navigation bronchoscopy, bronchopulmonary cryobiopsy (BLC), and cone beam computed tomography. Part B focuses on bronchoscopy techniques. In addition to airway stenting and laser bronchoscopy, recent interventions such as bronchial thermoplasty, bronchoscopic lung volume reduction, 3D printing, and microwave ablation are discussed. Section C covers pleural procedures, focusing on indwelling pleural catheters (IPCs) and fibrinolytics. Section D is devoted to procedures relating to children’s intellectual property. All cases are presented with a history including clinical, radiological, bronchoscopic/thoracoscopic findings and final outcome. Many of these examples also include video games. This book will be useful to pulmonologists, thoracic surgeons, surgical oncologists and radiologists.
