Dive into a series of case studies by Dr. Deepankar Sharma,
Director of Interventional Pulmonology,
Columbus Regional Health in Columbus, Indiana.
A 48-year-old male with a medical history significant for diabetes, severe COPD, and 40 pack years of smoking, presented with a progressive cough and shortness of breath over a 3-month duration.
A 75-year-old woman presents with moderate COPD and recurrent metastatic breast cancer with a complete response to treatment. She then developed a sub-acute worsening shortness of breath and hemoptysis of a 2-month duration.
A 68-year-old man with known adenocarcinoma of the rectum, failed to complete a recommended treatment in the past, presented with gradual worsening of shortness of breath.

| COURSE | WHO SHOULD ATTEND? | AGENDA HIGHLIGHTS |
| Discover the latest advancements in airways stenting. This one-hour educational workshop will focus on the utilization of unique airway stenting technology to address common airway strictures both in the trachea and central airways. Expert faculty will provide participants with a didactic learning experience utilizing innovative stenting technology from both rigid and flexible bronchoscopic methods. | Pulmonologists and Thoracic Surgeons who have the clinical capacity to perform airway stenting, and who want to gain knowledge about all aspects of the procedure, from stenting guidelines to challenging case experiences. A minimum of one stent case a week is strongly recommended. |

The AERO Fully Covered Tracheobronchial Stent is delivered to the target site by means of a proprietary, flexible, over-the-wire delivery system.
The AEROmini Fully Covered Tracheobronchial Stent builds on the strengths of the original AERO platform. The stent is delivered to the target site by means of an optimized low profile, through-the-scope or over-the-wire delivery system.
AERO DV promotes accurate placement under direct bronchoscopic visualization without the need for fluoroscopic or wire guidance.
The novel design of the AEROSIZER enables length and diameter measurement accuracy. A low cost alternative to radiology based airway sizing.
Offering a new standard in accuracy and control, the Elation Pulmonary Balloon is used to endoscopically dilate strictures of the trachea and bronchi.
The all-in-one, easy-to-use design of our 60 ml inflation device facilitates complete and rapid deflation, reducing procedure time and expense.
A guide wire specifically designed for interventional pulmonary and gastrointestinal procedures, the MAXXWIRE Guide Wires are offered in lengths of 180cm and 260cm with Super Stiff flexibility.
Prepare your patients for the procedure and the tracheal or bronchial stent placement by outlining the procedure and explaining the possible risks. This brochure will go over preparing for the procedure, what happens during and after the procedure, and things to be aware of.
