Substantial information regarding the role of lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS) in
severe emphysema emanates from the National Emphysema Treatment Trial (NETT). The …

Advanced emphysema is a lung disease in which alveolar capillary units are destroyed and
supporting tissue is lost. The combined effect of reduced gas exchange and changes in …

Importance Therapeutic options for severe emphysema are limited. Lung volume reduction
using nitinol coils is a bronchoscopic intervention inducing regional parenchymal volume …

Background Few treatment options exist for patients with severe emphysema. We assessed
the clinical benefits and safety of lung volume reduction coils (LVRCs) for the treatment of …

achieve lung volume reduction by bronchoscopy in patients with severe emphysema, works …

Background The lung volume reduction (LVR) coil is a minimally invasive bronchoscopic
nitinol device designed to reduce hyperinflation and improve elastic recoil in severe …

Bronchoscopic lung volume reduction (BLVR) is a novel emphysema therapy. We evaluated
long-term outcome in patients with heterogeneous emphysema undergoing BLVR with one …

Background and objective Bronchoscopic lung volume reduction coil (LVR‐coil) treatment
has been shown to be safe and clinically effective in patients with severe emphysema in the …
