Pulmonx Pulmonx has developed the Zephyr® Endobronchial Valve Therapy, a minimally invasive treatment for severe COPD/emphysema.

Visit https://uspatients.pulmonx.com/ for more. The one-time procedure is done during a simple bronchoscopy that require no cutting or incisions. During the procedure, on average 4 tiny valves are placed in the airways to block off the diseased parts of the lung which allows trapped air to escape until the lobe is reduced.* Reducing hyperinflation and preventing air from getting trapped in the diseased parts of the lung allows the healthier parts of the lungs to expand and take in more air. This results in patients being able to breathe easier and have less shortness of breath. Some patients treated report immediate relief and the ability to go back to doing everyday tasks with ease.**

The Zephyr® Valves were approved by the FDA in June 2018. Since 2007, more than 25,000 patients have been treated with the Zephyr® Valve worldwide**. The Zephyr® Valve is included in emphysema treatment guidelines issued by leading health organizations worldwide, including the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) and the UK’s National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE). Important Safety Information: The Pulmonx Zephyr® Endobronchial Valves are implantable bronchial valves indicated for the bronchoscopic treatment of adult patients with hyperinflation associated with severe emphysema in regions of the lung that have little to no collateral ventilation. Complications of treatment can include but are not limited to pneumothorax (tear in the lung), worsening of COPD symptoms, hemoptysis, pneumonia, and, in rare cases, death. The Zephyr® Valve is contraindicated in patients who have not quit smoking or are allergic to Nitinol (nickel-titanium). Please talk with your physician about other contraindications, warnings, precautions, and adverse events. Only a trained physician can decide whether a particular patient is an appropriate candidate for treatment with the Zephyr® Valve.

*The exact number of valves placed is based on physician discretion and patient anatomy.

For years, severe COPD/emphysema made everyday activities harder for Lee - from walking down the driveway to working around his home.

Then, one month after undergoing bronchoscopic lung volume reduction with Zephyr Valves, something happened that stopped him in his tracks: he walked up the stairs without stopping.
Today, Lee says he’s walking five miles a day and getting back to working on the home he built nearly 30 years ago.

As his severe COPD/emphysema worsened, Darryl found himself doing less of what he loved, and eventually felt afraid to leave his apartment.

After receiving Zephyr Valves, Darryl says things began to change.
“I am no longer a prisoner in my own home. I get outside, go to the grocery store, I even go to the gym about three times a week.”
Now, he’s even added a trip to New Orleans to his bucket list.

After learning about bronchoscopic lung volume reduction with Zephyr Valves and eventually undergoing the procedure at the University of Kentucky HealthCare, those everyday moments began to look different.

"I can go to the grocery store‚ I can walk to the mailbox and back now," shares Kasey.

Bronchoscopic lung volume reduction (BLVR) is a minimally invasive procedure where tiny one-way valves are placed into the airways of the lung to improve breathing. It can greatly benefit some patients with COPD and emphysema.

If breathing felt easier, what’s one thing you’d love to do again?

This World Lung Day, we’re recognizing the everyday moments that breathlessness can take away from people living with severe COPD/emphysema.

“There was a time when I felt trapped in my own home because of my breathing,” says Darryl.

After treatment with Zephyr Valves, he says he’s back at the gym, getting out more, and even adding a trip to New Orleans to his bucket list.

Living with COPD/emphysema can sometimes feel isolating, especially when people don’t fully understand what you’re going through.

Many people living with this condition often feel blamed, judged, or misunderstood. This article by the American Lung Association explores the emotional impact of COPD stigma and why support, education, and open conversations matter.

Have you ever felt judged because of your breathing condition?

Many people living with severe COPD/emphysema wonder how treatment may affect their oxygen use.

In our study for FDA approval of the Zephyr Valve, of the patients who were on supplemental oxygen, more patients treated with the Zephyr Valves used less oxygen compared to untreated patients (15.7% vS. 6.9%, respectively) at one year. At the same time, more untreated patients reported increased oxygen use.
If you’ve been treated with Zephyr Valves, we’d love to hear about your experience.

How would you describe your oxygen use today compared to before treatment?
