About
Anna Kornafeld is a pioneering figure in interventional pulmonology, with a focused expertise in the emerging field of robotically-assisted bronchoscopic ablation for lung nodules. Her work centers on developing safer, more effective therapeutic techniques for treating early-stage lung cancer, particularly in patients who are not candidates for traditional surgery. Kornafeld’s major contribution is the introduction of the AIM protocol—a structured, stepwise approach to anticipate, adjust, image, and manage bleeding during these delicate procedures. This framework directly addresses a critical safety gap in a field that, while not yet standard of care, offers a promising alternative for select cases. Her most-cited paper, published in 2025, has already garnered attention for its practical, risk-mitigating guidance. By systematically tackling the most feared complication of ablation—hemorrhage—Kornafeld is helping to pave the way for wider adoption of this minimally invasive treatment. Her work is essential reading for any researcher or clinician navigating the frontier of bronchoscopic ablation, combining technical innovation with a clear commitment to patient safety.
