PY - 2023 T2 - Fishman’s Pulmonary Diseases and Disorders, 6e AB - The first known bronchoscopy was performed by Gustav Killian in 1897 when he removed a pork bone from the right mainstem bronchus of a patient. For the subsequent 70 years, bronchoscopy was predominantly a therapeutic procedure performed for foreign body extraction. Two events shifted the landscape of bronchoscopy—the lung cancer epidemic and the development of flexible bronchoscopy by Shigeto Ikeda in 1967. Following an escalation in lung cancer incidence, malignant airway obstruction requiring therapeutic intervention became much more common than foreign body extraction. As a result, new tools were developed to address malignant airway obstruction based upon a minimally-invasive bronchoscopic approach. In addition, bronchoscopy-based technology has been developed to treat asthma, as well as select chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) phenotypes. This chapter presents an overview of interventional bronchoscopy and related modalities that can be utilized for benign and malignant airway obstruction, COPD, and asthma.
