Bronchial thermoplasty is an advanced therapy for severe asthma. It is a bronchoscopic procedure in which radiofrequency energy is applied to the airway wall, resulting in decreased airway smooth muscle burden. Human trials have shown that bronchial thermoplasty may reduce asthma exacerbations and improve quality of life in patients with severe ...

Bronchial thermoplasty is a relatively new therapy for the management of severe asthma. It involves the direct bronchoscopic application of thermal energy to airways by a catheter-directed expandable basket. The airways of the lower and upper lobes are treated in 3 separate sessions spaced 3 weeks apart.

Asthma, by definition is a variable disease. When there is more than normal natural variation in airflow, asthma can be provoked by a wide range of stimuli that include infectious, allergic, and environmental agents. Bronchoconstriction determines much of the short-term variability in airflow that characterizes asthma. Current treatments do not redress

Even with the use of maximum pharmacological treatment, asthma still remains uncontrolled in some cases. For such cases of uncontrolled asthma, a novel therapy--Bronchial Thermoplasty (BT)--has shown some promising results over the past few years. BT is application of controlled radiofrequency heat via catheter inserted through a flexible bronchoscope,

Advances in Bronchial Thermoplasty
Chest, 2016Bronchial thermoplasty (BT) is a therapeutic intervention that delivers targeted thermal energy to the airway walls with the goal of ablating the smooth muscle in patients with severe persistent asthma. Since the publication of the original preclinical studies, three large randomized clinical trials evaluating its impact on asthma control have been ...

Bronchial Thermoplasty for Asthma
American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2006Bronchial thermoplasty (BT) reduces the potential for smooth muscle-mediated bronchoconstriction by reducing the mass of smooth muscle in the walls of conducting airways.This study was conducted to examine the safety and impact on lung function and airway responsiveness of BT over 2 yr.The safety of BT was studied in 16 subjects with mild to moderate ...

Bronchial Thermoplasty for Severe Asthma
American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2012Bronchial thermoplasty (BT) is a novel treatment of patients with severe asthma who continue to be symptomatic despite maximal medical treatment. It aims to reduce the smooth muscle mass in the airways by delivering controlled thermal energy to the airway walls during a series of three bronchoscopies.

Bronchial thermoplasty for severe asthma
Current Opinion in Pulmonary Medicine, 2011the present article will address the potential for bronchial thermoplasty to be used in addition to conventional medications to help us treat our patients with severe asthma.two recently published studies report on the use of bronchial thermoplasty in patients with severe asthma.
