Course Brochure and Online Registration

 

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a debilitating disease with increasing morbidity and mortality worldwide. The main goal of therapy is symptomatic relief and improvement of quality of life through different medical treatment. However, such therapies cannot reverse or significantly reduce hyperinflation leaving patients with poor quality of life. In a selected subgroup of patients with predominant emphysema and hyperinflation, bronchial valve therapy represents a further treatment option, recently approved by the FDA. Recently, trials have also focused on bronchoscopic treatment of chronic bronchitis. The purpose is to provide a comprehensive summary of the currently available clinical trials, discuss common complications and their management as well as evaluation of proper patient selection in clinical practice.
