Abstract

Mini-interventional procedures are used in the everyday clinical practice by pulmonary physicians and radiologists. Fine needle aspiration and biopsy forceps are the tools mostly used. During these procedures pneumothorax can occur and immediate treatment is necessary. In our current work, we will focus on minimal invasive techniques for biopsy and pneumothorax treatment.

Keywords: Pneumothorax; bronchoscope; electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy (ENB); endobronchial ultrasonic (EBUS); intervention; transbronchial needle aspiration.
