There are major clinical challenges in the management of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Recent studies suggest that thermal vapor lung volume reduction may be an important interventional method in the treatment of emphysema phenotype of COPD. In this article, we reviewed and summarized the research and development, the current situation of clinical application, and the clinical challenges of thermal vapor lung volume reduction, to provide further clinical evidence for the standardized application of thermal vapor lung volume reduction.
慢性阻塞性肺疾病的治疗仍存在较大的临床挑战，近年来的研究提示热蒸汽肺减容可能是治疗肺气肿表型慢性阻塞性肺疾病的重要介入干预手段。本文总结了热蒸汽肺减容的研发历程，临床运用现状和当前的临床挑战，以期为热蒸汽肺减容的临床规范应用提供进一步的临床证据。.
