Patient selection before endobronchial valve treatment.
We read with great interest the study by HERTH et al. [1]. They investigated the ability of the bronchoscopic Chartis Pulmonary Assessment System to predict the response to unidirectional endobronchial valve (EBV) treatment by determining the presence of collateral ventilation (CV) and the Chartis system showed an accuracy level of 75% in predicting whether or not the target lobe volume reducti...

متن کاملEndoscopic bronchial valve treatment: patient selection and special considerations
As well as lung volume reduction surgery, different minimally invasive endoscopic techniques are available to achieve lung volume reduction in patients with severe emphysema and significant hyperinflation. Lung function parameters and comorbidities of the patient, as well as the extent and distribution of the emphysema are factors to be considered when choosing the patient and the intervention....
متن کاملEndobronchial valve migration.
Endobronchial valves are increasingly used as a treatment modality as a less invasive alternative to lung volume reduction surgery in patients with severe emphysema. Endobronchial valves have also been used to treat patients with persistent pulmonary air leaks and those with bronchopleural fistulae. We report a case of a 61-year-old male with severe bullous emphysema. Following video-assisted t...

tional pulmonology, with a number of devices now either in clinical trials or available for commercial use. These include unidirectional airway valves, endobronchial coils, sealant and steam therapy [5–15] . Endobronchial valves (EBVs) were designed to achieve volume reduction by inducing lobar atelectasis. They are the most-studied devices for bronchoscopic lung volume reduction. Largescale, r...
