Abstract

At present, bronchoscopic approaches to lung volume reduction (LVR) create airway obstruction to achieve parenchyma collapse, avoiding many risks of surgical LVR. However, LVR by these methods is limited by temporary or incomplete collapse and/or residual atelectatic and scarred tissue volumes. Heat-induced ablation of lung tissue is currently under investigation as an alternative LVR methodology. We hypothesized that bronchoscopic steam injection can produce safe and effective LVR, and explored potential mechanisms for the effects. Steam treatments were applied bilaterally to six cranial lobe segments of large dogs. For series 1, 14 dogs received one of three target heat dose levels (1, 4, or 8 cal · ml⁻¹ segment volume), and then 3 months of follow-up including pulmonary function testing and monitoring for complications. For series 2, 12 dogs received a single target dose (4 cal · ml⁻¹) or sham, similar follow-up, and then assessment of lobar mass, volume, and blood flow. Vapor content of series 2 steam was 40% greater than for series 1 (similar heat dose) to attempt more peripheral heat delivery. Nineteen of 20 treatment animals survived with minimal evidence of serious risks or reduced pulmonary function testing volumes, bu...Continue Reading
