  Purpose

This trial is a patient registry which has been established to obtain post-marketing clinical follow-up on patients who will receive endoscopic thermal vapor ablation treatment (InterVapor) as prescribed by their physicians. The study objectives are to prospectively document changes in lung function, dyspnea, and quality of life and to monitor serious adverse events after treatment.

Patients with heterogeneous emphysema with upper lobe predominance that have been prescribed InterVapor under usual care

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • heterogeneous emphysema with upper lobe predominance

Exclusion Criteria:

  • lower lobe predominate or homogeneous emphysema
  • forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) < 20% predicted
  • DLCO < 20% predicted or unmeasureable
  • current or recent smoking
  • arterial blood gas levels of PaO2 < 50 mmHg or PaCO2 > 55 mmHg
  • active or recent respiratory infection
  • history of asthma
  • clinically significant chronic bronchitis or bronchiectasis
  • significant cachexia or obesity
  • pneumothorax or pleural effusions in the preceding 6 months
  • presence of single large bulla > 1/3 volume of lobe to be treated
  • known pulmonary hypertension
  • known coagulopathy or current use of anticoagulants
  • known sensitivity to medications required to perform bronchoscopy
  • previously treated with the InterVapor system in the same lobe area(s)
  • patients with an implant currently in a lung (valves, coils, sealants)
  • indwelling pacemaker or implantable cardiac defibrillator
  • concomitant illnesses or medications that would pose a significant increased risk for complications following treatment with InterVapor
  • patients with an estimated life expectancy of less than 18 months
