Bronchial Thermoplasty Including the Middle Lobe Bronchus Significantly Improves Lung Function and Quality of Life in Patients Suffering from Severe Asthma.

BT including the RML bronchus is feasible. Functionally limited patients with severe asthma could potentially profit. Due to the relevant fibrinous exudation, BT should be followed by clean-up bronchoscopy, not only after RML treatment.
