Low cost biological lung volume reduction therapy for advanced emphysema
BACKGROUND Bronchoscopic lung volume reduction (BLVR), using biological agents, is one of the new alternatives to lung volume reduction surgery. OBJECTIVES To evaluate efficacy and safety of biological BLVR using low cost agents including autologous blood and fibrin glue. METHODS Enrolled patients were divided into two groups: group A (seven patients) in which autologous blood was used and ...

متن کاملLung Volume Reduction in Advanced Emphysema
Hyperinflation is a cardinal feature of COPD associated with reduced daily physical activity (1) and increased mortality (2). Although bronchodilators and pulmonary rehabilitation have some effect many patients with COPD remain highly symptomatic (3,4). The most established treatment is lung volume reduction surgery and results from the NETT trial show improved survival in appropriately selecte...
متن کاملLung volume reduction therapies for advanced emphysema: an update.
Observational and randomized studies provide convincing evidence that lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS) improves symptoms, lung function, exercise tolerance, and life span in well-defined subsets of patients with emphysema. Yet, in the face of an estimated 3 million patients with emphysema in the United States, < 15 LVRS operations are performed monthly under the aegis of Medicare, in part b...
