BREATHE-2 : Bronchoscopic Release of Air Trapped in Hyperinflated Emphysematous Lung
Status: Active, not recruiting.
Emphysema is a lung disease that results from damage to the walls of the alveoli of the lungs. A blockage (obstruction) may develop, which traps air inside the lungs. The Apreo Implant is designed to open lung airways, allowing trapped air to escape, thereby reducing hyperinflation of the lungs. This multi-centre study is being carried out to assess the safety, feasibility and preliminary efficacy of the Apreo Implant for severe emphysema in up to 60 participants.
