I know someone that is getting the valves on Wednesday. I have an appointment with Dr Criner at Temple University Lung this Thursday. I will pass on what I learn.
It is for severe to very severe emphysema. https://www.atsjournals.org/doi/10.1164/rccm.201803-0590OC
This article mentions heterogeneous emphysema but they are also using them on patients with homogenous emphysema.
