Brief summary

Use of the Chartis® Assessment System prior to EBV Treatment

Detailed description

This is a multi-center study which will enroll up to 120 patients. Subjects will undergo a Chartis Assessment prior to EBV treatment. The Chartis assessment will determine the presence or absence of collateral ventilation, a potential determining factor in the success of EBV therapy. This study is not randomized; all subjects are eligible to receive EBV Treatment, regardless of Chartis Assessment outcome. Follow-up data will only be collected on those patients that meet the Chartis inclusion criteria.

Interventions

The Chartis System provides a value that represents the quantification of the average resistance to airflow through collateral airways.

DEVICEEndobronchial Valve (EBV) Treatment

The endobronchial valve is designed to induce target lobe volume reduction.
