Endoscopic Lung Volume Reduction in Patients With Advanced Emphysema Due to alpha1 Antitrypsin Deficiency
- Conditions
- Hereditary Emphysema (Alpha 1-antitrypsin Deficiency)
- Registration Number
- NCT01357460
- Lead Sponsor
- Heidelberg University
- Brief Summary
Patients with advanced heterogeneous emphysema due to alpha1 antitrypsin deficiency might benefit from endoscopic implantation of intrabronchial valves.
- Detailed Description
Patient enrollment and data acquisition is to be carried out on a prospective basis. It is planned to enroll a total of 25 patients with advanced heterogeneous emphysema due to alpha1 antitrypsin deficiency. All patients will undergo treatment at one study centre in Heidelberg. Therapy of all patients consists of implantation of intrabronchial valves (IBV, Spiration, Olympus) in the most emphysematous destroyed lobe.
