Dr. Belgundi Preeti Vidyasagar is a highly skilled Consultant Interventional Pulmonologist at Yashoda Hospitals, Secunderabad, with specialized expertise in advanced therapeutic thoracic bronchoscopy, respiratory medical oncology, and minimally invasive pulmonary procedures. With comprehensive training in both basic and advanced bronchoscopy — including flexible bronchoscopy, transbronchial lung biopsy, endobronchial biopsy, endobronchial ultrasound (linear and radial), semi-rigid and rigid pleuroscopy, foreign body extraction, and cryoextraction — she brings a rare depth of interventional capability to respiratory care. Dr. Preeti is experienced in managing a wide spectrum of respiratory conditions, including COPD, asthma, bronchiolitis, bronchiectasis, tuberculosis, infectious diseases, interstitial lung disease (ILD), ABPA, vasculitis, pulmonary vascular disorders, occupational lung diseases, and pleural and mediastinal disorders. She also has training in sleep medicine, including polysomnography and positive airway pressure therapy, as well as first-hand experience in critical care procedures such as central venous cannulation, echocardiography, arterial lines, and critical care ultrasound. Notably, Dr. Preeti is the first woman from Asia to receive the prestigious "Rising Star" Award from Women in Interventional Pulmonology (WiIP), and she has developed a novel airway silicon stent deployment technique recognized in international literature. International patients seeking advanced pulmonary diagnostics and interventional respiratory care will find in her a compassionate, highly trained specialist.
