Treatment plus Optimal Medical Therapy

Patients will be treated with the AeriSeal System and Optimal Medical Therapy

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Treatment plus Optimal Medical Therapy

Intervention Type DEVICE

Patients will be treated with the AeriSeal System in 2 subsegments in the upper lobes of each lung (4 subsegments total). 20mL of foam sealant will be injected via catheter into each subsegment selected for treatment. Patients will also receive Optimal Medical Therapy. Guidelines for prescribing medical treatment for emphysema have been published by the American Thoracic Society (ATS) and the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute/World Health Organization (NHLBI/WHO GOLD workshop summary).

Optimal Medical Therapy

Patients will be treated according to Optimal Medical Therapy

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR
