- Abstract
The Interventional Pulmonology has established itself as a leading and essential sector of the pneumological specialty. To reach the level of sophisticated and advanced technology that today characterizes the Interventional Pulmonology procedures, it took more than a century of history full of innovations and insights that, hand in hand with the technological development that permeated all of 1900 and the early years of 2000, made it possible to carry out a series of methods that considerably expanded the field of interventional techniques, nowadays essential methods in the diagnostic and therapeutic pathway of most respiratory pathologies. The purpose of this revision is to cover the history of Interventional Pulmonology, from its origins to the present day, from the birth of thoracic endoscopy to the advent of Interventional Pulmonology, underlining the most relevant steps, placing them in the right historical context and highlighting the meaning in terms of clinical and practical implications for our specialty.
