Abstract

|
The idea that removal of an overinflated lung area would helpful for physiological recovery in patients with severe emphysema had already existed in 1959. However, it was only in 2003 that subjects suitable for and the effectiveness of the lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS) were demonstrated by a large randomized controlled study. Interestingly, the remarkable advances in bronchoscopic lung volume reduction (BLVR) methods were too fast to enjoy the glory of the LVRS. Since the early 2000s, various BLVR methods (one-way endobronchial valves, coils, vapor ablation, airway bypass stents, and biologic lung volume reduction) have been developed and evaluated. In this review, we will investigate what kinds of BLVR attempts have been performed, and figure out why some methods are getting more attention and why others are not getting any more attention.
