Bronchial rheoplasty for chronic bronchitis: real-world evidence of safety and performance

BACKGROUND: Bronchial rheoplasty (BR) addresses mucosal inflammation and hypersecretion associated with chronic bronchitis (CB) by ablating goblet cell hyperplasia with nonthermal pulsed electric fields. This study assessed if BR continues to demonstrate a safe profile and symptom burden reduction in CB patients. METHODS: This observational, post-market, single-arm registry was conducted at eight centres in Austria and Germany. Patients with CB and high symptom burden (COPD assessment test (CAT) score
