NCT ID NCT07403617
First seen Feb 15, 2026 · Last updated May 01, 2026 · Updated 9 times
Summary
This study tests whether using a special scan (VQDI) to pick the worst-functioning lung area for valve placement leads to better breathing and quality of life than the usual CT-based method. About 285 people with severe emphysema will be randomly assigned to one of two strategies. The goal is to see if the new approach helps more patients improve lung function and shrink the treated lobe.
