Description
The purpose of this research is to study a medical device, Pulmonx Endobronchial Valve (EBV), that is designed to produce lung volume reduction. This study is designed to investigate the safety and effectiveness of the Pulmonx EBV for treating emphysema symptoms as compared to a standard medical therapy program alone.
The EBV is a one-way valve that blocks off the diseased lung section to inhaled air but lets the trapped air already inside the area escape as shown below in the diagram With placement of the EBV, the diseased part of the lung collapses; this allows the healthier parts of the lung to expand.
