"....... The new strategy, called airway bypass, is a minimally invasive, catheter-based bronchoscopic technique designed to reduce lung overinflation and improve breathlessness. It does so by making new pathways for trapped air to exit the lungs, according to background information in the study." www.forbes.com/forbeslife/health/feeds/hscout/2007/10/25/hscout609341.html

Call me a skeptic, but a study funded by the maker of a new medication or device causes me to wonder just how good it is.
Lets hope some prove to be what they say they are.

I was hesitate to think much of this article for couple reasons. First it really didn't say much at all. Then I thought it might be referring to the BLVR. Here is another site and it refers to the Ease Trial which I think has been around for while. I have seen it referred to. www.broncus.com/I clicked on homogeneous and it told what it meant, which I didn't know. I am not going any further than this link. It could work for me if it worked. www.easetrial.com/index.html |
