Our expert multidisciplinary team includes skilled pulmonologists, radiology oncologists, thoracic and neck surgeons, and radiologists. Together, these specialists determine the best treatment option based on our comprehensive evaluation of each patient.

The IP Program cares for a wide range of patients, including those with:

• Lung cancer and other cancer types that have spread to the chest
• Benign airway tumors
• Bleeding or inflammation in the lungs or airways
• Airway disorders (compressed airways, airway stenosis)
• Pleural disorders
• Lung transplant
• Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and emphysema
• Severe forms of asthma
• Tracheal and bronchial stenosis related to lung transplantation, inflammation or prior procedures

Most interventional pulmonology procedures involve some form of bronchoscopy, which enables minimally invasive interventions using tiny cameras or surgical tools passed through a bronchoscope. The bronchoscope enables our team to look for and treat tumors, bleeding, inflammation or blockages in the lungs or airways; obtain fluid samples or tissue biopsies for testing; dilate areas; and implant stents — all without the patient having to undergo surgery, hospitalization and a long recovery.

We also offer a variety of other interventional pulmonology procedures, including:

• Airway ablation
• Balloon dilation
• Bronchial thermoplasty (BT)
• Bronchoscopic fiducial placement and lung tattooing
• Pleuroscopy
• Robotic bronchoscopy
• Stent placement
• Zephyr^® Endobronchial Valve
