Lung volume reduction with endobronchial coils may improve the exercise capacity and FEV1 of COPD patients. However, the majority of the effect was diminished after 24 months. The current state of evidence does not support regulatory approval of ECT and warrant its use only after consideration of the benefit-harm ratio in a highly selected patient population.
