Impact of bronchoscopic thermal vapor ablation on lung volume reduction in patients with emphysema: a meta-analysis

Abstract Background Bronchoscopic lung volume reduction (LVR) could significantly improve pulmonary function and quality of life in patients with emphysema. We aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of bronchoscopic thermal vapor ablation (BTVA) on LVR in patients with emphysema at different stage....
