Abstract

Abstract: Bronchoscopic TransParenchymal Nodule Access (BTPNA) technology is mainly used for sampling or ablative treatment of lung parenchymal lesions that cannot be reached by bronchoscopy and its appendages, generally for palliative treatment of some lung tumors. We used BTPNA to treat a 32‐year‐old young woman with pulmonary tuberculosis and successfully perforated her occluded left main bronchus. Her left atelectasis was recovered, and a silicone stent was inserted to preserve the shape of the left main bronchus. Abstract : BTPNA can be used to obtain lung nodules, and interventional vapour or radiofrequency ablation can be used to treat solitary lung tumor. Tunnelling technology can also be used to treat bronchial occlusion and open the airway.
