Lung Tensioning Device Coil Treatment in Patients with Severe Emphysema: A Prospective Safety and Feasibility Trial (EFFORT)
This first-in-human study shows that the new LTD-coil procedure is feasible with a safety profile comparable to the previous coil treatment. While the treatment effectively reduced lobar volume and modestly improved quality of life up to 3 months' follow-up, at a group level it did not significantly enhance pulmonary function or exercise capacity.
