From the Deputy Editor’s Desk
Dear Colleagues,
It is with great enthusiasm and honor that I welcome you to our newly established journal “Pediatric Interventional Pulmonology” as Deputy Editor-in-Chief. In the rapidly evolving landscape of pediatric medicine, this journal, founded by Matej Sapina, represents a crucial missing piece of the puzzle in our young and dynamic field of pediatric interventional pulmonology.
Our specialty has grown tremendously over the past years, bringing innovative techniques and approaches to treating children with complex respiratory conditions. However, until now, we’ve lacked a dedicated platform to share our experiences, research, and innovations. This journal aims to fill this gap, providing a home for the growing body of knowledge in our field.
