Making Sense of Pulmonary Endoscopy

Pulmonary endoscopy is one of the most commonly performed procedures by interventional pulmonologists and cardiothoracic surgeons. This handbook provides how-to guidance for physicians wishing to improve their skills in this important field. With an emphasis on endosonography-both endobronchial and esophageal ultrasound-the text simplifies and distils the essential practical and theoretical knowledge needed to perform basic endoscopic procedures for the diagnosis of pulmonary diseases. Many alternative invasive techniques are presented, along with illustrations and step-by-step instructions, making this book an ideal primer for trainees.
