Conclusion
Due to the word limit for this type of poster other interesting thoracic interventions such as pTEVAR and pulmonary thrombectomy will not be covered in this review. Transbronchial thoracic interventions, such as biopsy, needle aspiration, cryobiopsy, bronchial stenting, bronchoplasty, foreign body removal, pleurodesis and thermoplasty are beyond the scope of this poster, as they fall within the domain of interventional pulmonology.
It is important for clinicians and radiologists alike to know the indications and contraindications for these procedures. Radiologists should additionally be familiar with the basics of interventional techniques and potential complications. Hopefully, this poster will yield better understanding and appreciation of the most common thoracic interventions.
