Lung Volume Reduction Via Coils in Patients With COPD
Impact of Endoscopic Lung Volume Reduction Via Coils on Inspiratory Muscle Strength in Patients With COPD
For patients with emphysema lung volume reduction (ELVR) could be an expedient approach for the reduction of distension of the lung. ELVR may be performed using RePneu® Coils. After the insertion of the coils distended lung sections shrink so that healthy parts can expand.
In the present study investigators intend to examine, whether the insertion of the coils improves diaphragm function and force of the breathing muscles. Investigators hypothesize that reduction of lung volume eliminates or reduces flattening of the diaphragm and relieves breathing muscles, respectively respiratory pump, which aims to reduce dyspnea.

Detaljeret beskrivelse
In line with routine explorations it is necessary to clarify whether a patient is suitable for the endoscopic lung volume reduction. To address this question lung function diagnostics, 6-minutes-walk-test, blood withdrawal, CT of the thorax, lung perfusion scintigraphy and transthoracic echocardiography have to be performed.
After confirmation of the suitability for the endoscopic lung volume reduction patients who fulfill all other eligibility criteria will be educated about the aim and performance of the study by an investigator. After reading the patient information patient may submit his informed written consent. After that information on the risks will be given by a treating physician.
Following examination will be performed additional due to the study: determination of the strength of breathing muscles, determination of the life quality index via St.-George-questionary and determination of the depression score via SF-8-questionary (short form-8).
After that coils will be implanted and a permanent post-operative examination will be performed for 24 hours.
Three, respectively nine month after the implanting follow up exploration will be performed on the study patients.
