Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a highly prevalent and morbid disease marked by irreversible structural changes in the lungs. Bronchoscopic therapies have significantly expanded the treatment armamentarium for patients with persistent symptoms by reducing the physiologic detriments of hyperinflation in a less invasive fashion than surgical lung volume reduction. The spectrum of bronchoscopic techniques to reduce hyperinflation includes endobronchial valves, coils, thermal ablation, and biologic sealants. Other therapies focus on reducing parasympathetic tone and mucus hypersecretion and include targeted lung denervation, bronchial rheoplasty, and cryospray techniques. In this article, we will review the variety of techniques for bronchoscopic lung volume reduction, both established and investigational, along with their respective benefits and complications and will briefly review other investigational therapies for COPD.

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is one of the leading causes of death worldwide and has a large impact on a patient’s quality of life due to its wide range of symptoms and comorbidities. There are known to be different phenotypes in COPD with various extents on the burden of the disease and its prognosis. Chronic bronchitis with persistent cough and mucus production is regarded as one of the main symptoms of COPD with tremendous effects on subjectively reported symptom burden and frequency of exacerbations. Exacerbations in turn are known to have an impact on disease progression and increase health care costs. Modern bronchoscopic treatment options are currently under investigation targeting the problem of chronic bronchitis and frequent exacerbations. This review summarizes the existing literature about these modern interventional treatment options and provides perspectives on upcoming studies. Full article
