About
Dr. Kim Styrvoky is a leading interventional pulmonologist whose research is reshaping the landscape of minimally invasive lung cancer diagnostics. Her work centers on the integration of shape-sensing robotic-assisted bronchoscopy (ssRAB) with advanced multimodal imaging, including radial endobronchial ultrasound (r-EBUS) and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). Dr. Styrvoky’s major contributions include demonstrating the safety and efficacy of this combined approach for evaluating peripheral pulmonary lesions, with her seminal 2022 paper on the topic accumulating 63 citations. She has also pioneered critical work on procedural optimization, quantifying the radiation dose of CBCT during robotic bronchoscopy (30 citations) and analyzing procedural times to improve clinical workflow. Her investigations extend to high-risk patient populations, notably establishing the safety of robotic-assisted biopsy in patients with pulmonary hypertension on vasodilator therapy. More recently, Dr. Styrvoky has explored apneic oxygenation protocols to enhance diagnostic yield and has advanced targeted lung cryobiopsy techniques. Her cumulative work, with over 100 citations, provides the evidence base for safer, more efficient, and more accurate bronchoscopic procedures, directly impacting the standard of care for lung nodule evaluation.
