- Abstract
The article offers information on the airway smooth muscle reduction after bronchial thermoplasty (BT) in severe asthma correlates with FEV. It mentions bronchoscopic treatment for severe asthma patients in whom the airways are treated with radio-frequency energy to improve asthma symptoms by reducing airway smooth muscle (ASM); and also mentions ASM mass significantly decreased 6 months following BT-treatment.
