This is a multicenter, prospective, randomized, controlled study designed to evaluate improvement of lung function after treatment with the Spiration Valve System as compared to medical management in the control group. The control group will be evaluated in the same manner as the treatment group.
The Spiration Valve is a small, umbrella-shaped, one-way valve that is placed inside the airways of one lung. It is used to redirect air from the less healthy to the more healthy parts of the lung. This helps to reduce over-inflation and may improve overall lung function and quality of life for people living ...
The purpose of this post approval study is to further characterize the safety profile of the ProGEL™ Pleural Air Leak Sealant in commercial use, with specific reference to long-term safety over 90 days of follow-up.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical utility and early performance of the FDA cleared Ion™ Endoluminal System (“Ion”) for brochoscopically approaching and facilitating the sampling of peripheral pulmonary nodules, between 1-3cm in size, of unknown etiology.
The study will utilize both retrospective and prospective data collection from patients that already had a bronchoscopy and lung resection or will have a bronchoscopy and lung resection for squamous cell carcinoma. The investigators plan to prospectively collect 5 bronchoscopic biopsies, 3ml blood and one tumor and adjacent normal samples from 200 qualified patients who meet the study criteria.
The purpose of this randomized control study is to evaluate the feasibility of using a miniature (1.1 mm) cryoprobe to perform biopsy of peripheral pulmonary lesions using robotic bronchoscopy.
The purpose of this study is to compare cytology slides (bronchoscopically derived fine needle aspiration samples of lymph nodes at the time of rapid intraprocedural on site evaluation) created with the ASP Health's specimen preparation system to slides made by existing conventional methods.
Post market prospective, non-randomized, single-arm, multicenter study, designed to demonstrate dose response of an ablation system using a percutaneous approach in patients with primary, metastatic, or recurrent primary lung tumors.
The purpose of this story is to identify key radiographic variables that are predictive of symptomatic improvement in those patients undergoing endobronchial valve placement.
Symptomatic management of emphysema continues to be a difficult task by medical therapy alone. Bronchoscopic lung volume reduction (BLVR), utilizing minimal invasive placement of endobronchial valves, has emerged as a new therapeutic option. Early trial data demonstrated statistically and clinically significant improvement in FEV1, 6 minutes walk (6MW) distance, and quality of life. However, following the procedure, there are currently no good early predictors of symptomatic benefit. Often, patients wait several months to ...
The purpose of this study is to evaluate if lung ablation improves clinical outcomes for patients deemed to be surgically high-risk.
