Interventional pulmonology has transformed the diagnosis and management of complex airway and pleural diseases, offering minimally invasive solutions that can rapidly improve outcomes. Yet many clinicians are unfamiliar with when to consider these procedures or how they change patient care pathways.

In this case-based session, Dr Preeti Vidyasagar will walk through real clinical scenarios showcasing key interventional pulmonology techniques-from diagnostic bronchoscopy and pleural interventions, and therapeutic procedures. The focus will be on recognizing appropriate indications, understanding procedural impact, and knowing when timely referral can make a critical difference in patient care.
