Groundbreaking Emphysema Treatment

Patients with Severe Emphysema Can Breathe Easier with Bronchoscopic Lung Volume Reduction Bronchoscopic lung volume reduction (BLVR) is a nonsurgical procedure to treat advanced emphysema by placing tiny valves in the airways. The procedure takes about an hour and requires no cutting or incisions. During BLVR, an interventional pulmonologist will place an average of four valves in the airways to help patients breathe easier and experience a better quality of life. Download our brochure
