Pulmonx

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.

We are honored to share this heartfelt testimonial from one of Dr. Anurag Mehrotra's patients!

Rebecca Maness recently underwent a bronchoscopic lung volume reduction at Baptist Memorial Hospital-DeSoto. After several years of struggling to breathe, she feels both lucky and blessed to have taken a risk and have it work out for her.

The BLVR is a leading-edge, minimally invasive procedure for patients with severe emphysema who struggle with hyperinflated lungs and shortness of breath despite medications and oxygen therapy. Thanks to this procedure, Rebecca now feels the healthiest she has ever felt and enjoys doing things she thought she had lost forever.

Stories like Rebecca's remind us why our team members are devoted to helping develop healthier, stronger communities in the Mid-South, one patient at a time.

After being diagnosed with lung cancer and smoking-related emphysema in 2016, Nancy struggled to breathe, making everyday tasks like carrying groceries and walking to the mailbox difficult. She was an ideal candidate for the bronchoscopic lung volume reduction (BLVR) procedure—a minimally invasive treatment performed by pulmonologist Jonathan Kurman, MD, and his team.

During the procedure, tiny valves are placed in the airways to block diseased parts of the lungs, reducing hyperinflation. This allows the healthier parts of the lungs to expand, relieving pressure on the diaphragm, decreasing shortness of breath, and making breathing easier.

Following her BLVR procedure with Dr. Kurman in January 2025, Nancy is breathing easier and enjoying her daily routine once again. “I can now walk my dog again—just weeks after the procedure. Thanks, Dr. Kurman!” Nancy shared.
