Progress in interventional treatment of lung abscess

Abstract

With the improvement of medical interventional techniques, the interventional treatment methods for lung abscess, common percutaneous catheter drainage and endoscopic drainage had been mature.In recent years, due to the increased incidence of secondary lung abscess, studies have shown that the emerging intrabronchial ultrasound catheter subthecal drainage, minimally invasive vacuum-assisted closure therapy are expected to be an effective intervention for the treatment of secondary lung abscess. Key words: Lung abscess; Intrabronchial ultrasound catheter subthecal drainage; Minimally invasive vacuum-assisted closure therapy; Interventional therapy
