Interventional Pulmonology

Breathing problems can make daily activities difficult, especially when symptoms last or worsen. If you have ongoing coughing, shortness of breath, or chest discomfort, you may need specialized lung and airway care. 

At WMCHealth, our interventional pulmonologists use advanced, minimally invasive techniques for diagnosis and treatment. We offer procedures that open blocked airways and tools that detect conditions early. Our team provides expert, compassionate care close to home, with access to advanced options across the Hudson Valley. 

Advanced Techniques for Lung and Airway Health 

Minimally Invasive Diagnostics 

Our interventional pulmonology team uses robotic bronchoscopy and EBUS to reach deep into the lungs—without surgery. These tools allow tissue sampling from hard-to-reach areas, often delivering answers in just a few days.  

Treatments That Improve Breathing 

For blocked airways or fluid around the lungs, procedures like stent placement or thoracentesis can restore easier breathing. Indwelling pleural catheters also provide greater comfort and more freedom at home.  

Recovery Backed by Innovation 

At WMCHealth, our approach reduces risks, limits pain, and shortens hospital stays—helping you start recovery sooner. As part of an academic medical center, our team advances lung and airway research and offers same-day procedures with sedation. These innovations mean you can return home faster and begin healing with greater confidence.
