IRB No: 10.092.08
Protocol Abbrev: IBV - HUD
Principal Investigator: Mark Arthur Vollenweider, MD
Phase: Device: Significant Risk
Age Group: Adult
Secondary Protocol No: HDE H060002 HUD
Treatment: Placement of Spiration Valves into the airways of the lung using a bronchoscope (a flexible tube with a video camera for examination of the air passages of the lungs) placed through the mouth or nose
Therapies Involved: Procedural
-
Objective
To use the Spiration Valve System to control prolonged air leaks of the lung, or air leaks that are likely to become prolonged air leaks
-
Key Eligibility
Prolonged air leak(s) in the lung(s) following lung surgery (e.g., lobectomy, segmentectomy or lung volume reduction surgery). Air leaks after lung surgery are expected, but if they are still present after 5-7 days, they are considered prolonged (relatively long, or drawn-out).
