COPD
Trial Evaluating the Rate of Pneumothorax in Severe Emphysema Secondary to Endoscopic Volume Reduction With Two-stage ZEPHYR® Valves Versus Endoscopic Volume Reduction With One-stage ZEPHYR® Valves
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) affects 3.5 million people and is the third leading cause of death worldwide. Emphysema involves air retention in the lungs and is ultimately responsible for a major deterioration in…
