Provides critical data to guide procedural selection for challenging middle-zone pulmonary lesions.

Provides comparative evidence to help clinicians choose between ablative and mechanical dilation techniques for benign airway strictures.

Thoracic ultrasound remains a critical bedside tool for IP to risk-stratify pleural effusions and guide management decisions.

Standardizing the approach to BAL in ILD is essential for optimizing diagnostic yield in complex interstitial cases.

IPs should maintain a high index of suspicion for MCAO, as radiology reports may not always capture the clinical severity of airway involvement.

Establishes a clinical framework for best practices in robotic bronchoscopy, likely to become a standard reference for procedural workflows.

Establishes the current gold-standard clinical framework for robotic-assisted bronchoscopy workflows and diagnostic yield optimization.

Provides comparative data on PDT agents, which is highly relevant for bronchoscopic management of early-stage central airway malignancies.

Relevant to IP programs as they often manage the diagnostic follow-up for screen-detected nodules.

Medical pleuroscopy with induced pneumothorax successfully facilitated diagnosis in a case of suspected recurrent breast cancer with non-diagnostic thoracentesis

This case reports the first instance of pulmonary lobar torsion following endobronchial valve (EBV) treatment for emphysema, highlighting that while BLVR is effective, clinicians must consider rare, severe complications like torsion when patients present with new or unexplained respiratory symptoms

Relevant to the decision-making process for diagnostic bronchoscopy and biopsy of pulmonary nodules.
