Single-Use Flexible Bronchoscope in Facilitating Endobronchial Valve Treatment in Severe Emphysema by Sakaguchi T, Slebos DJ

“…We sometimes encounter difficult anatomical situations, causing a challenging, or sometimes even impossible placement of the EBV in the appropriate position due to steep bronchial bifurcation angles, particularly in the apical segments. A 56-year-old woman with severe emphysema was referred to our hospital after an incomplete EBV treatment due to a very sharp bronchial bifurcation angle in the right upper lobe apical segment (RB1). …”
