N2 - Objective: Airway bypass via transbronchial fenestration has been shown to improve
forced expiratory volume and flow in explanted human emphysematous
lungs. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and safety of in vivo
airway bypass stent placement by using a canine model and to assess the influence
of topical mitomycin C on the prolongation of stent patency.
