Research Article: Endobronchial Ultrasound is Useful in the Assessment of Bronchial Wall Changes Related to Bronchial Thermoplasty
Abstract:
Asthma is a heterogeneous chronic inflammatory disease of the airways characterized by airway hyperreactivity and variable degree of bronchial obstruction. Up to % of all asthma patients have a severe or uncontrolled disease associated with an increased mortality rate, a higher number of hospitalizations and increased healthcare costs.– In recent years, due to the identification of various phenotypes of severe asthma, it has been possible to implement innovative therapies, such as monoclonal antibodies targeting specific inflammatory pathways, which have shown considerable therapeutic efficacy.,
