Our study found that patients with severe, heterogeneous emphysema who undergo ELVR utilizing Zephyr® EBV and suffer complications during post-procedure period are more likely to have CAD or T2DM as baseline comorbidity. These data suggest that baseline CAD and T2DM might be predictive of increased risk of complications following ELVR with EBV.
