A Study of the Use of Chartis System to Optimize Subject Selection for Endobronchial Lung Volume Reduction (ELVR)
- Conditions
- Emphysema
- Interventions
- Device: Chartis SystemDevice: Endobronchial Valve (EBV) Treatment
- Registration Number
- NCT01101958
- Lead Sponsor
- Pulmonx Corporation
- Brief Summary
Use of the Chartis® Assessment System prior to EBV Treatment
- Detailed Description
This is a multi-center study which will enroll up to 120 patients. Subjects will undergo a Chartis Assessment prior to EBV treatment. The Chartis assessment will determine the presence or absence of collateral ventilation, a potential determining factor in the success of EBV therapy. This study is not randomized; all subjects are eligible to receive EBV Treatment, regardless of Chartis Assessment outcome. Follow-up data will only be collected on those patients that meet the Chartis inclusion criteria.

Group Intervention Description Chartis System-EBV Treatment Chartis System Subjects with heterogeneous emphysema, had their collateral ventilation status in the target treatment lobe assessed using the Chartis System (CV- or CV+) and underwent endobronchial lung volume reduction (ELVR) with endobronchial valves (EBV). Chartis System-EBV Treatment Endobronchial Valve (EBV) Treatment Subjects with heterogeneous emphysema, had their collateral ventilation status in the target treatment lobe assessed using the Chartis System (CV- or CV+) and underwent endobronchial lung volume reduction (ELVR) with endobronchial valves (EBV).
