Rationale: Less invasive, nonsurgical approaches are needed to treat severe emphysema.Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of Spiration Valve System (SVS) versus optimal medical management.Methods: In this multicenter, open-label, randomized, controlled trial, subjects aged 40 years or older with severe, heterogeneous emphysema were randomized 2:1 SVS management (treatment) alone (control).Measurements Main Results: The primary efficacy outcome was difference in mean FEV1...
Uncontrolled pilot studies demonstrated promising results of endoscopic lung volume reduction using emphysematous sealant (ELS) in patients with advanced, upper lobe predominant emphysema. We aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy ELS a randomised controlled setting.Patients were plus medical treatment or alone. Despite early termination for business reasons inability assess primary 12-month end-point, 95 out 300 successfully randomised, providing sufficient data 3- 6-month analysis.57...
It is unclear whether extracorporeal CO
Shape sensing robotic-assisted bronchoscopy (ssRAB) combined with radial endobronchial ultrasound (r-EBUS) and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is a newer diagnostic modality for the evaluation of pulmonary lesions. There limited data describing radiation dose CBCT ssRAB. The purpose this study was to describe technical factors associated use ssRAB biopsy lesions.We conducted single center, prospective observational patients undergoing fixed lesion biopsy. We report our patient...
Rationale: Follow-up of emphysema patients treated with endobronchial valves is limited to 3–12 months after treatment in prior reports. To date, no comparative data exist between and controls a longer follow-up. Objective: assess the durability Spiration® Valve System (SVS) severe heterogeneous over 24-month period. Methods: EMPROVE, multicenter, randomized controlled trial, presents rigorous comparison control groups for up 24 months. Lung function, respiratory symptoms, quality-of-life...
Impacted pediatric tracheobronchial thrombus is an uncommon diagnosis. There are no clearly proven therapeutic options for airway casts due to a similar process, plastic bronchitis. Cryotherapy, specifically cryoextraction, has shown potential as option in adults with and cast. We describe the novel application of this method complex patient.
In patients with a history of malignancy, follow-up surveillance lymph nodes (LNs) is required to evaluate for potential malignancy or infection. some cases, the lymphadenopathy may be secondary an intraprocedural hemostatic agent and/or related granulomatous reaction.We present case 80-year-old female remote past medical breast cancer status post-lumpectomy and chemoradiation. Twenty years later, 2.4 cm pulmonary right middle lobe nodule was noted on imaging studies. She underwent...
