: Neodymium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet laser used during bronchoscopy has been effective in treating airway obstruction. Other lasers with different properties have not been well described during bronchoscopy. The neodymium:yttrium-aluminum-perovskite (Nd:YAP) laser has different characteristics than the Neodymium: yttrium aluminum garnet laser.
