Journal ArticleDOI
Endobronchial Valves for Emphysema without Interlobar Collateral Ventilation
Karin Klooster,Nick H. T. ten Hacken,Jorine E. Hartman,Huib A. M. Kerstjens,Eva M. van Rikxoort,Dirk-Jan Slebos +5 more
TL;DR: Endobronchial-valve treatment significantly improved pulmonary function and exercise capacity in patients with severe emphysema characterized by an absence of interlobar collateral ventilation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bronchoscopic Lung Volume Reduction Coil Treatment of Patients With Severe Heterogeneous Emphysema
TL;DR: LVR-coil treatment is a promising technique for the treatment of patients with severe heterogeneous emphysema and results in significant improvements in pulmonary function, exercise capacity, and quality of life, with an acceptable safety profile.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lung volume reduction coil treatment for patients with severe emphysema: a European multicentre trial
Gaëtan Deslée,Karin Klooster,Martin Hetzel,Franz Stanzel,Romain Kessler,Charles-Hugo Marquette,Christian Witt,Stefan Blaas,Wolfgang Gesierich,Felix J.F. Herth,Juergen Hetzel,Eva M. van Rikxoort,Dirk-Jan Slebos +12 more
TL;DR: LVR coil treatment results in significant clinical improvements in patients with severe emphysema, with a good safety profile and sustained results for up to 1 year, and post hoc analyses showed significant responses for SGRQ, 6MWD and RV in Patients with both heterogeneous and homogeneous emphySEma.
Journal ArticleDOI
Predicting Lung Volume Reduction after Endobronchial Valve Therapy Is Maximized Using a Combination of Diagnostic Tools
T. David Koster,Eva M. van Rikxoort,Ralf-Harto Huebner,Felix Doellinger,Karin Klooster,Jean-Paul Charbonnier,Sri Radhakrishnan,Felix J.F. Herth,Dirk-Jan Slebos +8 more
TL;DR: Combining diagnostic tools could reduce the burden on patients and the healthcare system while providing clinicians with a better means for patient selection for EBV therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lung Volume Reduction Coil Treatment in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Patients with Homogeneous Emphysema: A Prospective Feasibility Trial
Karin Klooster,Nick H. T. ten Hacken,Ina Franz,Huib A. M. Kerstjens,Eva M. van Rikxoort,Dirk-Jan Slebos +5 more
TL;DR: LVR coil treatment in homogeneous patients improves hyperinflation, airway resistance, exercise capacity and quality of life with an acceptable safety profile.
