Clinical Trial Summary

Rationale: A big step forward and great opportunity to improve overall efficacy of bronchoscopic lung volume reductioen is to combine treatment modalities aiming to close the dependent collateral channels and then proceed with EBV therapy to induce lobar collapse, and thus maximal treatment effect.

Objective:

Primary objective:

1. To investigate the feasibility of injecting AeriSeal into the interlobar collateral ventilation channels region to make the target lobe suitable for endobronchial valve treatment.

Secondary objectives:

2. To investigate the safety of injecting AeriSeal into the interlobar collateral ventilation channels region to make the target lobe suitable for endobronchial valve treatment.

3. To investigate the effectiveness of injecting AeriSeal into the interlobar collateral ventilation channels region to make the target lobe suitable for endobronchial valve treatment.
