Hi josie ,

If you click on you're own post......then down to the " read next "section ...click on " Has anyone cme across Repneu lung reduction coils " on this post a member called dwitt gives a link about the coils . If you click on this there's quite a lot of information.

Know it would be easier if I could give the link.......but sorry not that technical !

Cheers Coastal

the valves are approved by NICE, the coils are awaiting approval. Trials of coils are taking place at Royal Brompton & NICE approval is expected later this year/early next.
