Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this study are adult patients experiencing shortness of breath and hyperinflation due to severe emphysema with low collateral ventilation.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who do not meet the FDA-approved criteria for SVS therapy or have incomplete screening data may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This observational registry study aims to assess the long-term safety and effectiveness of the Spiration Valve System (SVS) in treating severe emphysema. It is a single-arm, prospective, multi-center study that will monitor eligible adult patients for 36 months following their first implant of the SVS. The study is designed to gather outcome data to support the continued assessment of this FDA-approved therapy in a post-market setting.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide valuable insights into the long-term benefits and safety of the Spiration Valve System for patients with severe emphysema.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown success with similar approaches in evaluating post-market devices for respiratory conditions, indicating a potential for meaningful insights.
