Показать описание
Bronchoscopic lung volume reduction (BLVR) with endobronchial valves (EBV) is a guideline-based, FDA-approved standard of care treatment option for patients with severe emphysema. Over 25,000 patients have been treated globally with this minimally invasive therapy, clinically proven to improve lung function, exercise capacity, and quality of life.
The panel of pulmonologists will discuss the following:
· Urgency for new treatments for patients with severe COPD/emphysema
· Current treatment guidelines and optimizing patient care
· Clinical evidence and patient outcomes from BLVR with EBV
· Potential benefits and risks of BLVR with EBV
· Patient eligibility for BLVR with EBV treatment
· Next steps for patients—with or without BLVR with EBV treatment

I am a patient who had endobronchial valves last year. This has made a huge difference to my quality of life. I am so thankful to the NHS for giving me this procedure.
