Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD) is a common disease that is frequently complicated by hyperinflation. The resulting increase in lung volume impairs the diaphragmatic function because of a shortening of the diaphragmatic fibers and an increase in the radius of curvature of the diaphragmatic domes. Lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS) has already shown an improvement in diaphragmatic function that could be explained by a change of the diaphragm conformation. More recently, endoscopic lung volume reduction (ELVR) has shown benefits in terms of respiratory function, exercise capacity and quality of life, but the mechanisms of these improvements are poorly understood. Therefore, we aim to evaluate the evolution of the diaphragmatic function and the changes in diaphragmatic conformation after unilateral ELVR.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Endoscopic lung volume reduction

All the patients will have endobronchial valves insertion. We will evaluate before and 3 months after the evolution of the diaphragmatic strength and conformation.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Endoscopic lung volume reduction

Intervention Type DEVICE

a prospective monocentric study on hyperinflated COPD patients without collateral ventilation. Patients were evaluated before and 3 months after unilateral ELVR by transdiaphragmatic pressure (Pdi) measured at the functional residual capacity (FRC) after magnetic phrenic stimulation and by high-resolution computed tomography at the FRC allowing 3D modelling of the diaphragm for measurements of fibers length, length of the zone of apposition and radius of curvature of the diaphragmatic domes.
