Under his direction, the Pulmonary Division offers a variety of advanced pulmonary procedures including bronchoscopy with lavage, biopsies, endobronchial ultrasound guided biopsy of mediastinal masses and enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes; endobronchial hot and cold therapies for airway diseases, trachea- bronchial stent placement and bronchoscopic valve placement for lung volume reduction for advanced emphysema/COPD in individuals with limited exercise tolerance.Dr. Harvey has successfully started this?bronchoscopic valve lung volume reduction program in the Pulmonary Division at Weill Cornell Medicine. The process starts with a thorough clinical patient selection?evaluation. Then, in collaboration with a team of Pulmonary physicians, Anesthesiologist, Chest Radiologists, respiratory therapists, pulmonary function technicians,? ICU nurses, as well as highly experienced procedure nurses and technicians, Dr. Harvey is able to insert small tiny valves through a bronchoscope (small camera) into the most diseased areas of the lung.
