Branislava Milenkovic,1,2 Sanja Dimic Janjic,2 Spasoje Popevic1,2 1Faculty of Medicine, University of Belgrade, Belgrade, Serbia; 2Clinic for Pulmonary Diseases, Clinical Center of Serbia, Belgrade, Serbia Abstract: Emphysema is an incurable and underdiagnosed disease with obstructive ventilatory impairment of lung function. Despite decades of research, medical treatments available so far did not significantly improve the survival benefits. Different bronchoscopic methods for lung volume reduction (LVR) in emphysema were used in the past 2 decades aiming to close the airways serving the hyperinflated lung regions and to allow the gas in the more distal bullas to be absorbed. Sealants and adhesives can be natural/biological, synthetic and se...
