It said at Philadelphia, Penn Medicine with Dr. Kevin Ma. Meaning he is specialized for this type of treatment. First try local if your doctor knows about it. Otherwise search locally that offers that type of treatment and check his reviews, make an appointment don't feel afraid to ask how many surgeries have done under this treatment and if the patient is capable, withstand. Most likely will send you for analysis. If says no. Doesn't end there get a second opinion, if it's the same. Last source is Philadelphia. If he says yes based on his analysis. That means the doctor is capable of treating the patient. Some docs feel they are capable or not capable of this procedure. It is all about their comfortability.

I have COPD and presently using the Wixela fluticasone. It's a disc with a pre measure dose of a powder that I take by mouth twice per day. It really works, but my breathing is still labored, but not like it was before using this. I'm scheduled to see a pulmonologist on the 12th of this month for a discussion about this procedure to see if I'm a candidate. I believe I am because the thing that get's you turned down is smoking. I haven't smoked in 19 years.

So my question is. Are they ever removed or they stay in the lungs?

@williefufu2985 8 ай бұрын

To guess, I'd say that it would stay in, otherwise, the condition would return, immediately.
