Bronchoscopic lung volume reduction with endobronchial valve (BLVR-EBV) involves the placement of an endobronchial valve (EBV) in the emphysema area of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) via bronchoscopy, resulting in the collapse of the target lung lobe. This procedure has been shown to improve pulmonary function, quality of life, and activity endurance in COPD patients. Strict selection criteria and thorough preoperative evaluation are essential to ensure the success of BLVR-EBV. Due to its excellent postoperative performance, BLVR-EBV has been widely used in the treatment of patients with end-stage COPD, including those with conditions such as pulmonary tuberculosis cavities or those requiring surgical treatment. This paper provided a brief overview of the application and innovation of BLVR-EBV in patient assessment, perioperative management, and postoperative outcomes.

Combined risk factors such as total gastrectomy, heavy alcohol consumption, smoking, and poor oral hygiene may contribute to the development of pulmonary actinomycosis. Here, we present a rare case of pulmonary actinomycosis triggered by total gastrectomy and heavy alcohol consumption. The patient presented with hemoptysis and a suspected lung mass.

Background: Pulmonary epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (P-EHE) is a rare vascular tumor derived from mesenchymal cells with an incidence of about 1/1 million. The etiology remains unclear, and there are no established treatment guidelines. The tumor can occur in a variety of organs, among which the liver, lung and bone are the most commonly involved, with different clinical manifestations, mainly depending on the organ involved, but none of them is specific.

Cryotherapy is used for local tissue destruction through rapid freeze-thaw cycles. It induces cancer cell necrosis followed by inflammation in the treated tumor microenvironment, and it stimulates systemic adaptive immunity. Combining cryotherapy with immunotherapy may provide a sustained immune response by preventing T cell exhaustion.

Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, The First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University, Suzhou, China.
Rationale: We report here a case of using iodine-125 (125I) seed implantation via endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) in the treatment of malignant central airway obstruction (MCAO) in a patient with lung adenocarcinoma.
Patient Concerns: The patient still experienced MCAO after conventional bronchoscopic interventional therapy.
Diagnoses: The patient was diagnosed as lung adenocarcinoma stage IV (T4N2M1a).
Diagnostic Value of Endobronchial Ultrasound-Guided Intranodal Forceps Biopsies Combined with Rapid On-Site Evaluation for Mediastinal/Hilar Lymph Node Disease.

Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) is the standard method for sampling mediastinal/hilar lymph node disease. However, the smaller samples obtained via needle aspiration have a lower diagnostic rate for benign compared to malignant diseases. The low diagnostic rates have been reported to be improved through using endobronchial ultrasound-guided intranodal forceps biopsy (EBUS-IFB), but the implementation of IFB presents technical challenges, as described with variable results in certain studies.
