Abstract: ABSTRACT Introduction: Bronchoscopic lung volume reduction with endobronchial valves is a recently acknowledged treatment option in patients with severe emphysema and absence of interlobar collateral ventilation. In endobronchial valve treatment, implantation of one-way valves leads… read more here.

Abstract: Dynamic hyperinflation (DH) is a major marker of exertional dyspnoea in severe emphysema. We hypothesized that bronchoscopic lung volume reduction (BLVR) using endobronchial valves (EBVs) decreases DH. read more here.

Abstract: RATIONALE Pulmonary hyperinflation in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) has been related to smaller cardiac chamber sizes and impaired cardiac function. Nowadays, bronchoscopic lung volume reduction (BLVR) with endobronchial valves is a treatment… read more here.
