Therapeutic bronchoscopy with immediate effect: laser, electrocautery, argon plasma coagulation and stents.
Minimally invasive diagnostic and therapeutic approaches in medicine have been applied for a more selective and tailored approach to reduce patients' morbidity and mortality. The efficacy of interventional pulmonology for palliation of patients with central airways obstruction has been established and its curative potential for intralesional treatment of early cancer has raised great interest i...
متن کاملTherapeutic Bronchoscopy In Patients with Symptomatic Airway Lesions Argon Plasma Coagulation / Electrocautery
Endobronchial treatments are widely used for treating airway obstruction with the goal of relieving large airway obstructions caused by malignant or benign lesions. However, they may be curative in patients with benign conditions. We aimed to evaluate the usefulness of endobronchial argon plasma coagulation (APC) and electrocautery (EC) for treating patients with airway obstruction. Methods: We...
متن کاملEndobronchial Schwannoma Treated by Rigid Bronchoscopy with Argon Plasma Coagulation
Primary endobronchial schwannomas are extremely rare tumors that originate from Schwann cells. We report a case of primary endobronchial schwannoma. A 44-year-old woman, without respiratory symptoms, was presented with a nodule in the left main bronchus on her chest computed tomography scan. The nodule was removed by a rigid bronchoscopy with argon plasma coagulation. Biopsy confirmed the diagn...
متن کاملForeign body removal using bronchoscopy and argon plasma coagulation.
Foreign body aspiration can be a life threatening event especially for young children with smaller diameters of airway size. The foreign body can result in body response and granulation tissue formation around the object which makes the foreign body removal difficult. In such situations surgical intervention is usually needed but with interventional pulmonology modalities we can restrict the ne...
متن کاملTherapeutic bronchoscopy with immediate effect revisited: "tissue is the issue".
In the paper by BOLLIGER et al. [1], the authors highlight that there have been very few multicentre trials and no randomised prospective trials on interventional stent insertion. They write that different centres have different levels of expertise at interventional bronchoscopy. With that in mind, the idea of management guidelines for treatment must surely be appealing , so that we all have a ...
