The impact of emphysema heterogeneity on treatment response after endobronchial valve treatment
ERJ open research(2023)
摘要
Heterogeneity index influences the degree of clinical improvement after endobronchial valve treatment where in general a more heterogeneous distribution translates to larger improvements. However, patients with a more homogeneous distribution also showed clinically meaningful improvements. Therefore, we believe emphysema heterogeneity alone should not be used as a decisive patient selection criterion, but should be weighed in the context of all other relevant patient and target lobe characteristics when deciding on a patient's treatment eligibility.
