Abstract: INTRODUCTION: Bronchoscopic volume reduction treatments are among the important alternatives for selected emphysema patients with a dyspneic course despite optimal medical treatment. Our aim was to carry out a retrospective scan of the data for COPD patients subject to coil treatment at our center for assessing whether coil procedure has an impact on the respiratory symptom and pulmonary function tests in COPD patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The data of 41 patients with severe emphysema and treated with coils between 2017-2020 were evaluated retrospectively. Cardiopulmonary rehabilitation programs were completed for all patients prior to the procedure and they were assessed with pulmonary function test (PFT), diffusing capacity for carbonmonoxide test (DLCO), body plethysmography, 6-minute walk test, ventilation/perfusion scintigraphy, St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ). Data acquired prior to the procedure and 3rd month control data after the procedure were recorded and SGRQ was applied via face-to-face interviews during the controls by doctors working on Pulmonary Diseases as was the case before the procedure. RESULT: SGRQ questionnaires of 32 patients were evaluated. Statistically significant changes were observed after the procedure in symptom, activity, impact score and total score which were calculated prior to the procedure. Pre and post procedure FEV1, FVC, FEV1/FVC, PEF, FEF25/75 parameters were used for the comparison made via SFT. Statistically significant changes were observed in FEV1, FVC, FEF25/75 when the pre and post-procedure SFT parameters of the 32 patients included in the study were compared. CONCLUSIONS: A statistically significant improvement was observed in the PFT parameters and quality of life questionnaires following the coil procedure which is a bronchoscopic volume reduction procedure.
