Importance Preliminary clinical trials have demonstrated that endobronchial coils compress
emphysematous lung tissue and may improve lung function, exercise tolerance, and …

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 …

Background The lung volume reduction coil (LVR-coil), a new experimental device to
achieve lung volume reduction by bronchoscopy in patients with severe emphysema, works …

Background Endobronchial valves that allow air to escape from a pulmonary lobe but not
enter it can induce a reduction in lobar volume that may thereby improve lung function and …

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

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 …

Background: In patients with heterogeneous emphysema, surgical and bronchoscopic lung
volume reduction (LVR) treatments are available. However, for patients with homogeneous …

Background Lung volume reduction surgery is effective at improving lung function, quality of
life, and mortality in carefully selected individuals with advanced emphysema. Recently, less …

Background Bronchoscopic lung-volume reduction with the use of one-way endobronchial
valves is a potential treatment for patients with severe emphysema. To date, the benefits …
