Filter by:The purpose of this study is to provide post market clinical follow-up (PMCF) to obtain long term safety and efficacy information about the AeriSeal System treatment in patients with advanced emphysema.
The PneumRx Lung Volume Reduction Coil (LVRC) has been shown to effectively improve quality of life, exercise capacity, and static lung volumes, in patients with emphysema. The mechanism of action for these effects is believed to be related to the restoration of elastic recoil to lung parenchyma that has been damaged by emphysema. The objective of this study is to evaluate several physiologic parameters which should provide measures directly related to the mechanism of action by which the coils produce these outcomes.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of endoscopic valve implantation in patients with COPD and PH on hemodynamics, symptoms, exercise tolerance and quality of life in 10 patients in a prospective study. An improvement of objective parameters may also have a prognostic significance
Patients with advanced heterogeneous emphysema due to alpha1 antitrypsin deficiency might benefit from endoscopic implantation of intrabronchial valves.
The objective of this study is to demonstrate the safety and performance of the PneumRx, Inc. Lung Volume Reduction Coil (LVRC) in a population of patients with emphysema. The PneumRx, Inc. LVRC is used as a less invasive alternative to lung volume reduction surgery.
Spontaneous breathing supported by nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) is thought to have some advantages compared with mechanical ventilation in premature infants. In addition, early surfactant administration has been shown to be superior to delayed use. The aim of this pilot study was to describe the feasibility of TAKE CARE (early administration of surfactant in spontaneous breathing) procedure and compare its short-term and long-term results with InSurE procedure.
This is a multicenter single arm open label study. The primary objective is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Lung Volume Reduction Coil (LVRC) for the treatment of patients with emphysema in multiple centers.
The purpose of this study is to assess the long term safety and efficacy of AeriSeal System treatment administered at up to 4 subsegments during a single treatment session for lung volume reduction in patients with advanced emphysema through 48 weeks after treatment.
The purpose of this study is to show safety and feasibility to administer patients own mesenchymal stem cells to show signs of repair of emphysematous lung tissue
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease has two heterogeneous conditions (chronic bronchitis and pulmonary emphysema phenotypes) with a different clinical presentation. The phenotype evaluation in COPD patient (trough clinical, functional and radiographic parameters) could influence final results in pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic management of the disease. The aim of our study is to investigate whether COPD patients with different disease phenotype (chronic bronchitis versus pulmonary emphysema) have a different response to PR.
