AACVPR Certified Program

AACVPR program certification is the only peer-reviewed accreditation process designed to review individual facilities for adherence to standards and guidelines.

Airway Stenosis Management

Airway stenosis management involves airway stenting, bronchoscopic and/or balloon dilation of the trachea, and laser bronchoscopy.

Airway Stent Placement and Management

Many diseases complications can narrow or block your airway. A stent is a hollow tube that can be placed in your airway to open the narrowed area and help you breathe.

Bonnie H Addario Lung Cancer Foundation Center of Excellence

The Bonnie J Addario Lung Cancer Foundation Center of Excellence was open in 2006 to advance lung cancer research and early detection, advocate for the abolishment of stigma, and provide free education and support resources to patients and their families.

Bronchial Thermoplasty

Bronchial thermoplasty is a nonpharmacological procedure developed for the treatment of severe persistent asthma.

Bronchoscopic Lung Volume Reduction Surgery

Bronchoscopic lung volume reduction surgery is a minimally invasive procedure using endobronchial valves. These tiny devices are implanted in the airways of the lungs and act as one-way valves.

Electromagnetic Navigation Bronchoscopy

Electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy is a procedure that uses electromagnetic technology, which allows steer ability and movability to obtain tissue samples of lung masses.

Endobronchial Ultrasound Bronchoscopy (EBUS)

Endobronchial ultrasound bronchoscopy (EBUS), is a procedure that is used to diagnose different types of lung disorders, including inflammation, infections or cancer.

Endobronchial Valve Placement

An endobronchial valve placement is a small, one-way valve that is implanted in an airway to treat one lung conditions.

Flexible Bronchoscopy

Flexible bronchoscopy is a procedure that looks at the breathing passages of the lungs and also allows the doctor to get samples of mucus or tissue.

Foreign Body Removal

Foreign body removal is the extraction of foreign objects that have been found present inside the body.

Interstitial Lung Disease and Pulmonary Fibrosis Support Groups

Interstitial lung disease and pulmonary fibrosis support groups provide patients and their loved ones the opportunity to meet with other patients and caregivers to share experiences.

Interventional Pulmonary

Interventional pulmonology uses endoscopy and other tools to diagnose and treat conditions in the lungs and chest. These procedures may be offered by pulmonologists (lung specialists) who have undergone extra training.

LESS GERD Trial

The LESS GERD trial will examine the effectiveness of the esophageal sphincter stimulation system, a minimally invasive approach to treat severe reflux, reduce symptoms, and improve quality of life.

Lung Cancer Screening

Lung cancer screenings use low-dose computed tomography to make detailed images of your lungs. The scan only takes a few minutes and is not painful.

Lung Transplantation

During a lung transplant, surgeons remove your diseased lung and then attach a donor lung to your airway and to the blood vessels that lead to and from your heart.

Minimally Invasive Surgery

Minimally invasive surgery is a surgical procedure that is performed using tiny instruments through a small incision, rather than through a larger opening. This form of surgery offers the same benefits of open surgery, but results in a quicker operation, less pain, and a shorter healing time.

Peripheral Ultrasound Bronchoscopy

Peripheral ultrasound bronchoscopy allow doctors to see inside the lungs of patients. They are usually performed in order to determine the cause of a problem with the lungs.

Rigid Bronchoscopy

Rigid bronchoscopy is a procedure used to access the patient's airway and allows the passage of larger instruments to diagnose and treat airway disease.

Robotic Procedures

Robotic procedures, also known as robot-assisted surgery, is a form of robotic technology that is used with minimally invasive surgeries to help doctors perform the surgery with a greater degree of precision and control than in traditional surgeries.

Thoracotomy

Thoracotomy is a surgical procedure in which a cut is made between the ribs to reach the lungs or other organs in the chest or thorax.

Transbronchial Cryobiopsy

Trans bronchial cryobiopsy is a procedure for sampling lung parenchyma. This procedure entails using a flexible cryoprobe to rapidly freeze an area of peripheral lung, which is subsequently extracted as a cryobiopsy.

Tumor Destruction

Tumor destruction utilizes a high-frequency, alternating current within the targeted cancerous tissue to cause ionic agitation. This generates frictional heating leading to cancer cell destruction.

Tunneled Pleural Catheter Placement and Management

Tunneled pleural catheter placement and management involves the proper placement of the catheter in the pleural space to treat pleural effusion. This catheter facilitates the drainage of fluid. The catheter and the skin around it must be kept clean and he catheter must be changed regularly.

Ultrasound Guided Chest Tube Placement

Ultrasound guided chest tube placement allows step-by-step visualization of the lung structures and the advancing needle, and reduces the risk associated with the procedure.

VATS Video Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery

Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is a minimally invasive surgery of the chest. It is performed with a thoracoscope using small incisions and special instruments.

Whole Lung Lavage

Whole lung lavage (WLL) is a very specific procedure that uses saline (saltwater) solution to “wash out” the lungs. It's sometimes called lung washing.
