Endobronchial valve therapy
Endobronchial valve therapy is a technique used to treat patients with severe forms of emphysema and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). During the procedure, special endobronchial valves are inserted into the bronchi to block damaged lung areas, promoting air redistribution to healthier lung tissue. This improves respiratory function and the patient’s overall condition.
Features of the procedure in global clinics
In top medical centers, endobronchial valve therapy is performed using high-precision endoscopic equipment, ensuring minimally invasive access and accurate valve placement. The procedure is conducted under video visualization, which helps minimize risks and enhance effectiveness. The valves themselves are made from modern biocompatible materials, significantly reducing complication risks and improving treatment outcomes.
