First report of bilateral Bronchial Rheoplasty for treating chronic bronchitis performed in a single procedure
We present the first case of simultaneous bilateral Bronchial Rheoplasty, treating both lungs during one procedure. Contrary to expectations, this did not increase complications in our patient. Consolidating the procedure into one session may reduce risks, patient discomfort, and costs, although further research is needed to confirm these benefits.
