Patent

CA 2382817

Devices, compositions, and methods for achieving non-surgical lung volume reduction (e.g., bronchoscopic lung volume reduction (BLVR)) are described. BLVR can be carried out by collapsing a region of the lung, adhering one portion of the collapsed region to another, and promoting fibrosis in or around the adherent tissue.

Cette invention se rapporte à des dispositifs, des compositions et des procédés permettant de réaliser une réduction du volume pulmonaire par voie non chirurgicale (par exemple une réduction du volume pulmonaire par voie bronchoscopique (BLVR)). On peut réaliser une réduction BLVR en repliant une zone du poumon, en faisant adhérer une partie de la zone ainsi repliée à une autre, et en stimulant la fibrose dans ou autour du tissu adhérant.
