We recently hosted an engaging International Zephyr Valve Users Group Meeting in Bali during the WCBIP Meeting. With attendees from across the globe — Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Hong Kong, Germany, Spain, France, Netherlands, and the U.S. — the event was filled with valuable insights about successful endobronchial valve treatment for severe emphysema. Special thanks to Prof. ali musani for moderating, Prof. Dirk-Jan Slebos for the keynote, and Prof. Kaid Darwiche for leading case discussions. A big thank you to the treating physicians who shared their clinical experiences! #ZephyrValves #Pulmonx #BLVR #Emphysema #COPD #ForEveryBreath

Improving Breathing and Quality of Life for Emphysema and Advanced COPD Patients
About us
Pulmonx has developed the Zephyr Endobronchial Valve, a minimally invasive treatment for COPD/emphysema. The one-time procedure is done by bronchoscopy and requires no cutting or incisions. During the procedure, on average 4 tiny valves are placed in the airways to block off the diseased parts of the lung which allows trapped air to escape until the lobe is reduced. Reducing hyperinflation allows the healthier parts of the lungs to expand and take in more air. This results in patients being able to breathe easier and have less shortness of breath.1 Complications of the Zephyr Endobronchial Valve treatment can include but are not limited to pneumothorax, worsening of COPD symptoms, hemoptysis, pneumonia, dyspnea and, in rare cases, death.1 1. Criner G et al AM J Resp Crit Care Med 2018, Published on 22-May-2018 as 10.1164/rccm.201803-0590OC Brief Statement: The Pulmonx Zephyr® Endobronchial Valves are implantable bronchial valves indicated for the bronchoscopic treatment of adult patients with hyperinflation associated with severe emphysema in regions of the lung that have little to no collateral ventilation. The Zephyr Valve is contraindicated for: Patients for whom bronchoscopic procedures are contraindicated; those with evidence of active pulmonary infection; known allergies to Nitinol (nickel-titanium) or its constituent metals (nickel or titanium); known allergies to silicone, or with large bullae encompassing greater than 30% of either lung; Patients who have not quit smoking. The Zephyr Valve should be used with caution and only after careful consideration in treating patients with: Prior lung transplant, LVRS, median sternotomy, or lobectomy; Congestive heart failure or recent myocardial infarction; FEV1 <15% of predicted value. Use is restricted to a trained physician. Prior to use, please reference the Zephyr Endobronchial Valve System Instructions for more information on indications, contraindications, warnings, all precautions, and adverse events.

When testing severe COPD/emphysema patients and their likely response to Zephyr Valves, the new Chartis Precision Catheter enables assessment of a wider range of targets. Patients with shorter lobar airways can be evaluated for absence of collateral ventilation, with both spontaneous breathing and mechanical ventilation.
