Complications related to endoscopic lung volume reduction for emphysema with endobronchial valves: results of a multicenter study

Key Points

Key points are not available for this paper at this time.

Abstract

Valve treatment is a safe and reversible procedure. The presence of complications seems not to have a significant impact on clinical outcome in patients with lobar atelectasis. Due to poor clinical conditions and possible complications, BLVR should be performed in high volume centers with a multidisciplinary approach.
