7 Φεβ 2019 · Despite limitations of high risk of bias and heterogeneity for some analyses, our results provide support that lung volume reduction in patients with severe emphysema on maximal medical treatment has clinically meaningful benefits.
13 Ιουλ 2021 · Bronchoscopic lung volume reduction (BLVR) with endobronchial valves is a relatively new, minimally invasive treatment option available for a subgroup of patients suffering from the debilitating symptoms of severe emphysema.
The history of surgery for the treatment of emphysema and its complications is long and complex and, with improved understanding of the pathophysiology, most procedures have been discarded. Present clear indications for surgery are mainly large or increasing bullae that result in compression of apparently good lung tissue, and complications of ...
6 Σεπ 2022 · LVRS involves a keyhole operation into the chest in order to access the lungs and remove the areas of the lungs most affected by emphysema. With BVLR, the procedure is carried out using a fiber...
The modern-day surgical treatment began in the early 1990s using laser techniques to try to cause some volume reduction. This was followed by more effective stapled resection of the emphysematous areas and better understanding of proper patient selection.
4 Φεβ 2021 · A new medical device called the Zephyr Valve offers a minimally invasive alternative to lung surgery for emphysema patients. For some affected individuals, lung volume reduction surgery is an option — surgeons remove one or more lobes of the lungs to physically reduce the volume of air in the chest.
In this section, we’ll walk you through the step-by-step process of LVRS, simplifying the medical jargon so you can understand what will happen during your surgery. Step 1: Anesthesia. The surgery begins with you being put under general anesthesia. This means you’ll be completely asleep and won’t feel any pain during the procedure. An ...
