Bronchial thermoplasty is part of the comprehensive management and treatment of asthma patients. Recently approved by the FDA, bronchial thermoplasty is a novel treatment method for patients with severe or persistent asthma. Performed as an outpatient procedure, bronchial thermoplasty uses a special catheter to deliver precisely controlled thermal energy to the airways. Asthma is a chronic inflammatory condition of the airways characterized by periodic symptoms of cough, wheezing and shortness of breath. Chronic airway inflammation can lead to an increase in thickness of airway smooth muscle (ASM), which causes airflow constriction and difficulty breathing. The first asthma treatment modality aimed at reducing the thickness of ASM, bronchial thermoplasty improves a patient's breathing capacity by reducing the airways' ability to constrict airflow. Asthma patients who received bronchial thermoplasty during clinical trials have demonstrated significant improvement in their asthma symptoms as well as a reduction in the number of severe asthma flare-ups and hospital ER visits.

In the world we live today with HMOs and specialists it's hard to find a doctor who really cares. A doctor who takes the time needed to solve your problem. I'm writing this letter to thank you, Dr. Kale, for your help with my CPAP Mask. It has made all the difference. Since my visit with you a few days ago I have slept through the night. It has been a very long time since I have slept this well. Not sleeping was taking away the quality of my life. Not only are you a very pleasant person you are a wonderful doctor.
