NEW HOPEFUL COPD INTERVENTION

[Giannababy]

The FDA announced in June that it has approved a minimally invasive procedure for placing endobronchial valves within the lungs of COPD suffers who are not getting sufficient relief from traditional drug treatments. The Zephyr valves, made by Pulmonx, are placed endoscopically to block air flow into damaged areas of the lung, allowing healthy areas to thrive. I have contacted Cleveland Clinic to be evaluated for the procedure which they say might become available as early as October. I’ll post more as I learn it.

I disagree. You DO sound rude. And inaccurate. For those of us in the USA this is the first opportunity to use these Zephyr valves within the scope of FDA oversight. Your tonal response just serves your ego, not our needs.

I did not think you were rude at all. Thank you for the info.
