Treatment of emphysema using bronchoscopic lung volume reduction coil technology: an update on efficacy and safety

Treatment of emphysema using bronchoscopic lung volume reduction coil technology: an update on efficacy and safety

In the last decade several promising bronchoscopic lung volume reduction (BLVR) treatments were developed and investigated. One of these treatments is BLVR treatment with coils. The advantage of this specific treatment is that it works independently of collateral flow, and also shows promise for pat...
