To estimate the difference between study arms in volume changes of the treated lobe(s) by CT scan

Study Overview

Brief Summary

Hypothesis: Patients with advanced emphysema with predominance of the disease in areas other than the upper lobes, as determined by high resolution computed tomography (HRCT), could have a positive response to valve treatment.
