The effect of bronchial thermoplasty on airway volume measured 12 months post-procedure

Bronchial thermoplasty induces atrophy of the airway smooth muscle layer, but the mechanism whereby this improves patient health is unclear. In this study, we use computed tomography (CT) to evaluate the effects of bronchial thermoplasty on airway volume 12 months post-procedure. 10 consecutive pati...
