1 Use of unidirectional endobronchial valves for the treatment of giant emphysematous bulla 
Mario Santini, MD, Alfonso Fiorello, MD, Vincenzo Giuseppe Di Crescenzo, MD, Giovanni Vicidomini, MD, PhD, Luigi Busiello, MD, Paolo Laperuta, MD  The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery  Volume 139, Issue 1, Pages (January 2010) DOI: /j.jtcvs Copyright © Terms and Conditions

2 Figure 1 Computed tomography shows large bulla (15 cm diameter) occupying almost entire left upper hemithorax, with pulmonary compression and mediastinal shift to the right (A). After placement of endobronchial valves, there is complete disappearance of bulla, with re-expansion of neighboring lung and centralization of mediastinum. Exact position of EBV is assessed with radiologic evaluation (B). The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery  , DOI: ( /j.jtcvs ) Copyright © Terms and Conditions

3 Figure 2 Photograph illustrates Zephyr 4.0 endobronchial valves positioned in superior trunk bronchus (culmen) and in lingular bronchus with resulting complete occlusion of left upper lobe (A). Endobronchial valve works like Heimlich valve, allowing escape of air from bulla at expiration (B) but preventing air inflow at inspiration (C).
