Traitement court et simple. Santé pulmonaire durable.
The dNerva® Lung Denervation System is novel, catheter-based system used to treat overactive airway nerves in a procedure called Targeted Lung Denervation. This first-of-its kind technology addresses underlying COPD pathophysiology to help preserve lung health.1,2
Non-surgical, Outpatient Treatment
The Procedure
01: Position
The dNerva Catheter threads through the working channel of the bronchoscope and is positioned in the main bronchi.
02: Inflation
The conduit and balloon are inflated by circulating the coolant through the catheter which brings the electrode in contact with the airway wall.
03: Confirmation
Confirm good contact of the electrode with the airway wall and that adequate distance from the esophagus is achieved.
04: Activation
Activation of the radio-frequency energy lasts approximately 2 minutes per position. Each bronchus is treated four times to complete circumferential ablation.
