The advent of endoscopic lung volume reduction (ELVR), especially relying on valve technology to achieve atelectasis, has aroused new interest in the assessment of collateral ventilation, which has been implicated in ELVR failures. We are reporting on the use of a catheter-based device that measures airway pressures and flows, and calculates airway resistance in vivo.
