In this podcast, join Dr. Fiona Mosgrove and Dr. Neil Greening to discuss the latest Pragmatic Guide on bronchoscopic and surgical options for severe COPD/emphysema, the primary care role and options for Lung Volume Reduction Surgery.
They explain what LVRS is and how to identify the patients who should be referred for the procedure. The discussion also covers what can be done in primary care, including how to initiate conversations about LVRS and the necessary assessments to consider.
Zephyr® Valves are a minimally invasive method for LVRS. Patients treated with Zephyr Valves experienced clinical benefits and improved quality of life when compared to patients who were on medications alone.1
