The Effect of Treatment of Emphysema With Endobronchial Valves on the Diaphragm Mobility
In some patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) the breathlessness is caused by hyperinflation of the lungs. This causes difficulty breathing air out and makes it harder to breath in new air and limits the movement of the diaphram. The diaphragm is the muscle used for breathing between the …
Magnetic Resonance Lung Function Imaging Study of Pulmonary Fibrosis Combined With Emphysema Syndrome
This study intends to use magnetic resonance pulmonary function imaging technology to explore imaging markers for early diagnosis of patients with CPFE. Through baseline, 6-month and 12-month follow-up examinations, the changes in magnetic resonance pulmonary function in patients with CPFE and their correlation with disease progression were explored.
Site and Mechanism(s) of Expiratory Airflow Limitation in COPD, Emphysema and Asthma-COPD Overlap
The purpose of this cross-sectional, observational study is to evaluate the site and mechanism(s) for expiratory airflow limitation in chronic, treated, current or former smokers (>15 pack years) with COPD, Emphysema, and Asthma-COPD Overlap with mild to severe expiratory airflow limitation. Treatment may include short and long acting inhaled beta2agonists, …
STRIVE Post-Market Registry Study
This is a single-arm, prospective, multi-center, Registry study to evaluate the long-term safety and effectiveness of the Spiration Valve System (SVS) for the treatment of severe emphysema in a post-market setting.
Characterizing Matrix Metalloproteinase-12 (MMP12) in Sputum
The hypothesis is that in patients with emphysema, a high MMP12 sputum and/or blood level correlates with airspace enlargement and with increased sputum Th2 immune biomarkers.
Analysing Peripheral Skeletal Muscle Function Before and After Endobronchial Valve Treatment
Rationale: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterised by a high prevalence of peripheral muscle dysfunction, which can have significant clinical consequences, including decreased exercise capacity, reduced quality of life, and even a higher mortality rate. Reduction of lung hyperinflation using bronchoscopic lung volume reduction treatment with one-way endobronchial valves …
Kingston Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Multidimensional Long Term Follow up Cohort
Background: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary (COPD) patients are the paradigm of the chronic complex patient. Their follow up can sometimes be difficult and challenging (1). There are patients with recurrent exacerbations that put an enormous burden on health care resources (2). They also have multiple comorbidities (3) that can sometimes make …
Zephyr Valve Japan Post-Marketing Surveillance
This is a multicenter, prospective, observational surveillance enrolling 140 consecutive patients with severe emphysema who are candidates for bronchoscopic lung volume reduction using Zephyr Endobronchial Valve at up to 20 centers across Japan and followed for 12 months.
