Overview

This second edition provides a comprehensive text covering all aspects of interventional pulmonology. The first edition has become the evidence-based resource of choice for the interventional pulmonologist.  The original version is a fully inclusive overview of all aspects of interventional pulmonary from diagnosis to management and innovative approached to patient care. The book has provided efficient and up to date access for standard approaches, novel interventions, and expert opinion to help guide clinicians worldwide. Over the past decade, however, there have been monumental shifts in the care of these patients and the interventions associated. This updated edition thus includes not only updates to existing chapters but inclusion of new and innovative approaches toward interventional pulmonology to keep the reader up to date with cutting edge and life changing technologies that benefit patients. Providing both pathophysiologic background as well as illustrated and clear instruction on how procedures ought to be performed, this text is of great value to interventional pulmonologists, thoracic surgeons, surgical oncologists, and interventional radiologists.
