 everyone. I'm looking for information for the father of a good friend of mine. His emphysema is worsening and greatly affecting his quality of life. My question is where in Canada can ine have the surgery to install one-way valves? I'm no Doctor of course but simply looking for potential options for the gentlemen. Thank you so much. |

I have not found any information showing that any of the 5 non surgical Lung Volume Reduction
techniques have been approved for use in Canada.
Most of them are approved by the FDA but not in Canada. Once they are approved for use, the next step would be the provincial medical ministries to approve payment.
You best bet would be for your friend to check with the father's Respiratory Specialist. That is the
person who would know where the treatment sits in the current pipeline.
