note = "Objective(s): Results from the VENT Study (Sciurba F et al, NEJM 2010) indicate that endobronchial valve therapy is most effective in patients with upper lobe predominant heterogeneous (ULP) emphysema who have intact fissures. This study examines how fissure integrity affects the response to endobronchial volume reduction performed with the AeriSeal Emphysematous Lung Sealant System (ELS), a peripheral-acting tissue sealant.",
