There is intense interest in lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS) for treatment of severe symptomatic emphysema. LVRS results in objective and subjective improvement in lung function in selected patients. However, LVRS is complicated by substantial morbidity, including prolonged pulmonary air leak associated with resection of emphysematous lung tissue. In this study, we investigated the use of a novel implanted silicone elastomer device that reduces lung volume without surgical resection, in a previously reported emphysematous animal model. The purpose of this investigation was to determine the applicability, physiologic effects, complications, and air-leak results of this lung volume reducer (LVR) approach.
