Background Lung volume reduction surgery improves survival in selected patients with
emphysema, and has generated interest in bronchoscopic approaches that might achieve the …

Importance Tissue verification of noncaseating granulomas is recommended for the diagnosis
of sarcoidosis. Bronchoscopy with transbronchial lung biopsies, the current diagnostic …

Background Few treatment options exist for patients with severe emphysema. We assessed
the clinical benefits and safety of lung volume reduction coils (LVRCs) for the treatment of …
