Adoption Patterns of Bronchoscopic Lung Volume Reduction Procedures in Germany and Predicted Procedure Volumes for Other European Countries

Bronchoscopic lung volume reduction (BLVR) procedures using valves and coils have been approved for use since 2003 and 2010, respectively. Our objective was to study adoption patterns for BLVR in Germany, an early-adopting country, and to estimate potential treatment volumes for other European countries.
