Pulmonary bullae is a common complication of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD), causing the deterioration in lung function, leading to aggravated dyspnea and poor quality of life for patients. The traditional therapeutic approach for pulmonary bullae is bullectomy using surgical thoracoscopy. The disadvantage of this approach is the postoperative complications and high risk of recurrence in many patients. In addition, for some patients, due to the patient's physical conditions, such as poor lung function and other diseases, bullectomy could not be used. Therefore, new alternative approaches were urgently needed. In recent years, interventional respiratory technology has been trialed to treat pulmonary bulla all around the world and has achieved great success. In this paper, we reviewed the relevant clinical research progress of interventional respiratory medicine techniques in the treatment of pulmonary bullae.
肺大疱是慢性阻塞性肺疾病常见的一种并发症，可以引起患者的肺功能恶化，导致呼吸困难加重，严重影响患者生活质量。传统方法常会采用外科胸腔镜行手术切除肺大疱，但仍会发生许多术后并发症及有复发的可能；也有部分患者往往因肺功能太差或合并其他疾病不能耐受手术，迫切需要新的方法来替代外科手术治疗肺大疱。近几年来，国内外众多学者尝试采用介入呼吸病学技术治疗肺大疱并取得一定的良好效果。因此，本文将介绍介入呼吸病学技术在肺大疱治疗中的相关临床研究进展。.
