People with lung and airway (pulmonary) or chest (thoracic) diseases benefit from the services of our interventional pulmonology specialists. They are expert in advanced diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, including robotic bronchoscopy, thoracentesis, pleuroscopy and comprehensive evaluation of airway conditions.
Our interventional pulmonology doctors work closely with a multispecialty team that includes thoracic surgeons, cancer (oncology) specialists, pathologists and other specialists as needed. Together they develop an individualized treatment plan for you that's based on the full range of options, comprehensive evaluation, accurate diagnosis, and your concerns and goals.
Our interventional pulmonologists are at the forefront of innovation in advanced diagnostic and treatment technology, such as robotic bronchoscopy. This breakthrough technique allows health care professionals to see and biopsy parts of the lung that were previously inaccessible. It offers better precision and control while biopsying nodules in or near the airway, and it has been proved to decrease the time from diagnosis to treatment.
Another innovation in care used at Mayo Clinic is endoscopic lung volume reduction with endobronchial valves. This procedure is used to treat people experiencing problems related to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Only a few centers nationwide offer this treatment.
