Endoscopic lung volume reduction in severe emphysema.
Therapeutic options in severe emphysema are limited. Endoscopic lung volume reduction (ELVR) refers to bronchoscopically inducing volume loss to improve pulmonary mechanics and compliance, thereby reducing the work of breathing. Globally, this technique is increasingly used as treatment for advanced emphysema with the aim of obtaining similar functional advantages to surgical lung volume reduct...

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by two entities, the more airway-predominant type (“bronchitis”) on the one hand, and emphysema-predominant type on the other. Imaging via high-resolution computed tomography plays an important role in phenotyping COPD. For patients with advanced lung emphysema, new endoscopic lung volume reduction therapies (ELVR) have been develope...
متن کامل[Lung volume reduction surgery for diffuse emphysema].
BACKGROUND Lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS) performed to treat patients with severe diffuse emphysema was reintroduced in the nineties. Lung volume reduction surgery aims to resect damaged emphysematous lung tissue, thereby increasing elastic properties of the lung. This treatment is hypothesised to improve long-term daily functioning and quality of life, although it may be costly and may b...
متن کاملEndoscopic lung volume reduction.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a category of diseases characterized by chronic airflow obstruction and hyperinflation. The GOLD committee and the American Thoracic Society/European Respiratory Society have published detailed, evidence-based reviews of management approaches, providing stepped-care algorithms for pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic therapy. Over the past several d...

Lung volume reduction surgery for emphysema. E.W. Russi, U. Stammberger, W. Weder. ©ERS Journals Ltd 1997. ABSTRACT: Lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS) is performed to alleviate dyspnoea of selected patients with severe pulmonary emphysema and to improve their pulmonary function, performance in daily activity and quality of life. By resection of destroyed lung areas the achievable improvement...
