Endobronchial Valves

My husband had 6 of these valves put in just over a week ago. Should you feel the benefit immediately or does it take a couple of weeks? Thank you.

One of our members documented his journey after having valves fitted. You may find it an interesting and informative read. See his posts here:

Hi

How is your husband now.? My hubby has had this procedure twice in one lung (other not suitable) and on both occasions , after initial amazing deflation, re inflation occurred. He is due to go for one final attempt next month but, to be honest,, he is a lot worse than he was prior to starting this journey. The CT scan showed movement of one valve and growth of lung tissue over another a month or two after each procedure. I would be interested to hear from others who may have had a similar experience.

Thanks
