Interventional pulmonology is a branch of medical science that deals with minimally invasive medical procedures carried out under image guidance by interventional pulmonologists for the diagnosis, treatment, and palliation of different types of pulmonary disorders. Interventional pulmonology procedures involve usage of different image guided techniques such as computed tomography, fluoroscopy, and ultrasound to diagnose and treat the specific site affected with pain or cancer. Interventional pulmonology procedure is most commonly performed with other cancer treatments such as surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. These procedures offer several advantages such as quicker recovery, shorter hospital stay, minimal side effects, and more precise and accurate treatment compared to other therapeutic procedures.
The global interventional pulmonology market is estimated to be valued at US$ 3,535.3 million in 2021 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 5.4% during the forecast period (2021-2028).
The worldwide interventional pulmonology market is being pushed primarily by the high prevalence and rising incidence rates of lung cancer around the world. Lung cancer is one of the world's major causes of death. Lung cancer was responsible for 2.9 million deaths in 2018, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). Furthermore, an increase in the global incidence rates of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, airway strictures, and amyloidosis is expected to drive the growth of the global interventional pulmonology market during the forecast period. Furthermore, the benefits of minimally invasive surgical treatments, technical improvements in interventional pulmonology, and an increase in government financing for cancer operations are expected to drive worldwide market growth during the projection period.
The worldwide interventional pulmonology market can be divided into procedure, indication, and geography segments. Tumor debulking, endobronchial brachytherapy, endobronchial stenting, photodynamic treatment, and other procedures are available. Tumor debulking refers to the endoscopic elimination of tumours growing within the airway lumen by heating, freezing, vaporising, or simply resecting the tumour with a biopsy. The tumour was removed using several procedures such as endoscopic laser resection, electrocoagulation, and cryotherapy. Endobronchial brachytherapy is a treatment that involves delivering high-dose radiotherapy using a catheter at the surgical site in the airway. Endobronchial stenting procedure involves the placement of stents to relieve the symptoms of airway obstruction. Different types of metallic as well as silicone stents are currently available in the market and demand for these stents is increasing.
