Abstract

The development and advancement of interventional tools and image guidance has allowed for expansion of the use of percutaneous interventions in pediatric thoracic disorders. In this chapter, we discuss the main thoracic pathologies for which percutaneous interventional procedures offer a safe, minimally invasive therapeutic alternative. Integration of interventional procedures into the management of many of these disorders has become the standard of care at many institutions and a key component of a successful, interdisciplinary treatment plan.
