Emphysema patients with collateral ventilation (CV) will not benefit from valve therapy, the most common endoscopic lung volume reduction procedure. A recent randomized controlled trial (STEP-UP) of the alternative bronchoscopic thermal vapor ablation (BTVA) included patients with (CV+) and without interlobar CV (CV-).
