NCT01902732 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: PHASE2/PHASE3 · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 50

Summary

This clinical trial evaluates the impact of catheter-based measurement of interloabr collateral ventilation prior to endoscopic lung volume reduction in patients with hetereogeneous emphysema and complete interlobar fissures in high resolution computed tomography.

Conditions

  • Heterogeneous Emphysema

Interventions

DEVICE

Implantation of valves (IBV)

Implantation of intrabronchial valves in the most emphysematous destroyed and hyperinflated lung lobe improves the elastic recoisl of the samll airways by a reduction in lung volume and thus leading to more ergonomic breathing mechanics and diaphragm function. This positive effect is observed particularly in patients with low interlobar collateral ventilation that can be quantified by CT fissure analysis and/or catheter-based measurement.
