Asthma Control during the Year after Bronchial Thermoplasty

Background Bronchial thermoplasty is a bronchoscopic procedure to reduce the mass of airway smooth muscle and attenuate bronchoconstriction. We examined the effect of bronchial thermoplasty on the control of moderate or severe persistent asthma.

Conclusions Bronchial thermoplasty in subjects with moderate or severe asthma results in an improvement in asthma control.
