Advanced bronchoscopic and procedural diagnostics, performed under monitored anesthesia care in a hospital endoscopy setting for your safety and comfort.
Invasive pulmonary procedures allow direct visualization of the airways and sampling of lung tissue or lymph nodes to achieve accurate diagnoses. All invasive procedures are performed under general anesthesia by a dedicated CRNA team — patients feel no pain during the procedure.
Most procedures are same-day, with a short recovery period in the hospital's endoscopy suite before going home. A follow-up appointment is scheduled 7–10 days later to review results.

Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration — takes samples of mediastinal lymph nodes using real-time ultrasound guidance through the airway.
Learn moreTransbronchial biopsy with real-time X-ray (fluoroscopy) guidance — improves diagnostic accuracy and reduces complication risk during bronchoscopic tissue sampling.
Learn moreA miniature ultrasound probe is passed through the bronchoscope's working channel, providing a precise 360° view of peripheral lung lesions for targeted biopsy.
Learn moreGPS-like technology navigates to deep, peripheral lung targets with superior precision, guided by a pre-procedure CT chest plan. Requires general anesthesia.
Learn moreFlexible camera inspection of the windpipe and airways with fluid sampling — a quick, low-risk same-day procedure that checks for infections, inflammation, and other abnormalities.
Learn moreUltrasound-guided drainage of excess fluid from the pleural space — performed for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, with precise localization to minimize risk.
