First seen Feb 15, 2026 · Last updated Jun 13, 2026 · Updated 20 times
Summary
This study tests whether using a special scan (VQDI) to pick the lung area for valve placement works better than the usual CT-based method in people with severe emphysema. About 285 participants will be randomly assigned to one of two selection strategies and followed for a year. The goal is to see if the VQDI-guided approach leads to greater improvements in lung function and quality of life.
