Thoracic Endoscopy 
Advances in Interventional Pulmonology

Written by some of the world’s leading practitioners – and pioneers
– in the field, Thoracic Endoscopy is the first
up-to-the-minute, expert reference for clinicians with a solid
foundation in diagnostic bronchoscopy and chest medicine needing to
extend their clinical expertise in response to two decades of rapid
development.

Thoracic Endoscopy covers four key areas of
practice:

* * advanced diagnostic bronchoscopy

* the latest techniques for interventional bronchoscopy
— including the traditional rigid bronchoscopy techniques,
ablative instruments and stents — and a discussion of
endobronchial lung reduction and gene therapy

* a window to the pleura, covering the field of
pleuroscopy and the advances in diagnosis and treatment

* clinical problems and methodologies, and strategies
for solving them using interventional techniques

Thoracic Endoscopy presents the only coherent guide to
the full range of techniques and practice patterns, and is the
essential reference for both experienced interventional
pulmonologists and students beginning to practice in this
rapidly-developing field.
