Multicenter, randomized, assessor-blinded controlled study of safety and effectiveness of the PneumRx, Inc. RePneu Lung Volume Reduction Coil (RePneu LVRC) System
LVRC IDE Crossover Study (Crossover From IDE Trial CLN0009) Rochester, MN

The purpose of this study is to provide the lung volume reduction coil treatment procedure to patients who were randomized to the control group in study CLN0009, and obtain safety and effectiveness data on these patients.
Postprocedural CT Scan in Patients Undergoing Bronchoscopic Lung Volume Reduction with Endobronchial Valves to Determine Benefit or Adverse Effects Rochester, MN

The purpose of this story is to identify key radiographic variables that are predictive of symptomatic improvement in those patients undergoing endobronchial valve placement.

Symptomatic management of emphysema continues to be a difficult task by medical therapy alone. Bronchoscopic lung volume reduction (BLVR), utilizing minimal invasive placement of endobronchial valves, has emerged as a new therapeutic option. Early trial data demonstrated statistically and clinically significant improvement in FEV1, 6 minutes walk (6MW) distance, and quality of life. However, following the procedure, there are currently no good early predictors of symptomatic benefit. Often, patients wait several months to ...
