Bronchoplasty and arterioplasty can be some of the most challenging technical procedures in thoracic surgery. The pathology requiring these techniques is infrequently seen and thus these procedures are infrequently performed. Several experienced thoracic surgeons have extensive experience with these techniques as well as lessons learned. Practicing general thoracic surgeons as well as trainees would benefit from hearing this information and seeing these videos.

Learning Objectives

• Describe the changes in technique for these procedures over the past 2 decades
• Narrate the indications for the use of these techniques
• Realize the benefits of parenchymal sparring techniques
• Envision the steps for bronchoplasty and arterioplasty

*Unless otherwise noted, speakers have nothing to disclose.
