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: Japanese Experiences
2018In the approximately 5–10% of asthma patients whose condition is poorly controlled, asthma is present even if the patient is treated with high-dose inhalational steroids and long-acting beta 2 agonists. We cauterized a bronchus of 3–10 mm inner diameter at 65 °C for patients with such severe asthma. Bronchial thermoplasty, which reduces the quantity of
