[Application and innovation of bronchoscopic lung volume reduction with endobronchial valve].

Bronchoscopic lung volume reduction with endobronchial valve (BLVR-EBV) involves the placement of an endobronchial valve (EBV) in the emphysema area of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) via bronchoscopy, resulting in the collapse of the target lung lobe. This procedure has been shown to improve pulmonary function, quality of life, and activity endurance in COPD patients. Strict selection criteria and thorough preoperative evaluation are essential to ensure the success of BLVR-EBV. Due to its excellent postoperative performance, BLVR-EBV has been widely used in the treatment of patients with end-stage COPD, including those with conditions such as pulmonary tuberculosis cavities or those requiring surgical treatment. This paper provided a brief overview of the application and innovation of BLVR-EBV in patient assessment, perioperative management, and postoperative outcomes.
