Dr. Arda Kiani

Some of the most common respiratory diseases diagnosed and treated by Dr. Arda Kiani include:

• Obstructive lung diseases such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), bronchiectasis, cystic fibrosis, and bronchiolitis
• Pulmonary vascular disorders such as pulmonary embolism, pulmonary hypertension, pulmonary edema, and vasculitis
• Respiratory infections, including tuberculosis, pneumonia, and lung abscesses
• Lung tumors and malignancies of the respiratory system
• Pleural diseases involving the lung space, such as pleural effusion, infections, and tumors
• Interstitial lung diseases, including idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), allergic pneumonitis, and sarcoidosis
• Diseases related to environmental and occupational factors
• Sleep apnea
• Respiratory failure and patients requiring mechanical ventilation and critical care

Diagnostic, therapeutic, and interventional procedures performed by Dr. Arda Kiani include:

• Bronchoscopy and common interventions during bronchoscopy (such as sampling, lavage, foreign body removal, etc.)
• Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) for visualizing and needle sampling of lesions in the airways (EBUS-TBNA)
• Stenting of the airways to relieve airway obstruction
• Pleuroscopy for examining the pleural space, sampling lesions in this area, and placing pleural catheters
• Thermoplasty uses RF radiation to control the severity of advanced asthma, which is one of the newest therapeutic methods for these patients.
• Treatment of snoring through RF radiation at the anatomical site of this problem in the oropharynx region
• Microwave ablation for lung tumor destruction
• Cryobiopsy sampling for interstitial lung diseases
• Ultrasound-guided needle biopsy of mediastinal lymph nodes
• Sleep testing
• Spirometry
