AIRWAY INTERVENTION: A Comprehensive Review for Interventional Pulmonology Fellows, Pulmonary Board Candidates, and Advanced Airway Practitioners

From the foundations of bronchoscopic anatomy to the frontiers of robotic navigation and artificial intelligence, this text delivers the definitive, single-source reference for mastering interventional pulmonology.

Written by Dr. Virginia Janet, MD, FCCP, FAABIP — a Fellowship Program Director and Board Examination Writer with over 25 years of clinical and teaching experience — this book distills decades of practice into a structured, board-ready curriculum covering every domain of modern airway intervention.

Inside, you will find:

• Foundational chapters on airway anatomy, physiology, imaging, and endobronchial ultrasound
• Complete coverage of flexible and rigid bronchoscopy, sedation protocols, and procedural safety
• Diagnostic techniques including EBUS, cryobiopsy, navigation bronchoscopy, and robotic bronchoscopy
• Therapeutic interventions spanning mechanical debulking, laser therapy, cryotherapy, photodynamic therapy, and brachytherapy
• An in-depth section on airway stenting — silicone, metallic, and hybrid stents, placement, and complication management
• Disease-specific chapters on malignant central airway obstruction, benign stenosis, tracheobronchomalacia, hemoptysis, and airway trauma
• Emergency algorithms for bleeding, hypoxia, pneumothorax, and airway fire
• Thirty detailed real-world case studies spanning malignant obstruction, benign stenosis, stent complications, and diagnostic dilemmas
• Three full-length mock board examinations (650 questions total) with detailed rationales
• Ten appendices covering equipment specifications, stent sizing charts, drug dosing, procedure checklists, and a complete glossary

Designed for interventional pulmonology fellows preparing for board certification, pulmonary and critical care trainees, and advanced practice providers seeking a comprehensive clinical reference, this book bridges evidence-based guidelines from AABIP, CHEST, and WABIP with the practical, case-based reasoning required at the bedside and in the procedure suite.

Whether preparing for board exams or refining clinical practice, readers will find this an indispensable, exam-ready companion to the full spectrum of airway intervention.
