First seen Apr 19, 2026 · Last updated Apr 25, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether surgically completing the gaps between lung lobes before placing one-way valves can improve lung volume reduction in people with severe emphysema or COPD. About 20 participants will either receive the combined procedure or standard medical care. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and helps collapsed, diseased lung tissue stay deflated, making it easier to breathe.
