The Procedure
What is Pulmonary Interventions ?
Pulmonary Interventions are minimally invasive, image-guided procedures for diagnosing and treating lung and airway conditions. These procedures allow precise targeting of lesions, fluid collections, or vascular abnormalities in the lungs, reducing the need for open surgery.
Using CT, ultrasound, or fluoroscopy guidance, interventional radiologists can perform biopsies, drain fluid, or manage vascular complications safely and effectively, improving patient outcomes with faster recovery.
Conditions Treated
- Lung tumors (biopsy & treatment)
- Pleural effusions (fluid around lungs)
- Pneumothorax (collapsed lung management)
- Pulmonary embolism interventions
- Bronchial blockages
- Post-infection complications (abscess drainage)
