The Interventional Pulmonology Program is a high-volume, comprehensive center supported by six AABIP-certified faculty members. It offers a broad spectrum of advanced procedures, including more than 200 rigid bronchoscopies annually, robotic bronchoscopy across three system hospitals, and lung volume reduction, with a total procedural volume exceeding 1,200 cases per year. The program faculty is expert on taking care of subglottic stenosis and airway complications of lung transplantation. The program serves a wide referral base from Minnesota and neighboring states and manages approximately 3,000 clinic visits annually across five dedicated Interventional Pulmonology clinic locations, supported by two specialized RNNCs. Dedicated operating room time is consistently maintained at three system hospitals, ensuring procedural efficiency and accessibility.
