About

William Krimsky is a leading interventional pulmonologist whose research focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of indeterminate pulmonary nodules (IPNs) and the application of novel ablation technologies in thoracic oncology. His major contributions center on optimizing bronchoscopic approaches to IPNs, a critical area given the high annual incidence of small nodules detected on CT scans. Krimsky pioneered the use of thoracoscopic detection of occult nodules via bronchoscopic pleural dye marking, a technique that enhances surgical precision and has garnered 80 citations. He has also authored comprehensive reviews on the evolution of bronchoscopic diagnostic and therapeutic tools, synthesizing rapid innovations in the field. More recently, his work has expanded into the safety evaluation of pulsed electric field (PEF) ablation for metastatic lung lesions, demonstrating early feasibility in a 2025 study. This research bridges biopsy and ablation in a single procedure, potentially transforming care for patients with metastatic cancer. With a career marked by technical innovation and clinical translation, Krimsky’s work continues to shape minimally invasive strategies for lung nodule management.
