USE OF FIBRIN OR FIBRINOGEN FOR REDUCING LUNG TISSUE VOLUME

摘要

Devices, compositions, and methods comprising fibrin or fibrinogen for achieving non-surgical lung volume reduction (e.g., bronchoscopic lung volume reduction (BLVR)) are described. BLVR can be carried out by collapsing a region of the lung, adhering one portion of the collapsed region to another, and promoting fibrosis in or around the adherent tissue.
