Advances In The Treatment Of Endobronchial Valves Disease In The Lungs

Endobronchial valve as medical a lung volume reduction techniqueshave been known, as the medical workers to master the technology matures,showing in severe heterogeneous emphysema treatment more effective thansurgical lung volume reduction treatment and medical therapy, and simple,minimally invasive, low mortality and complication advantages, but alsoChina currently only approved bronchoscopic lung volume reductionmethods for clinical treatment. Domestic and foreign health workers whilealso trying to one-way valve used in the treatment of bronchial intractablepneumothorax, giant emphysematous bulla, lung transplantation and lungcancer and other diseases, and achieved good clinical results. Bronchialincreasingly widespread application of the one-way valve, the paper do areview of its progress in the treatment of lung disease in the hope that abetter understanding of endobronchial valve technology, reasonable andcorrect application and get the maximum therapeutic benefit.
