I had zephyr valves in mar. 2021. Oct 2019 went to national jewish hospital 6 day clinic, I qualified for lung reduction surgery, surgeon went thru
details of what surgery involved. Since I was fromPhoenix, az . Area he recommend I get 2nd opinion which I did at st josph hospital. Surgeon recommended I get valves. I had 5 valves put in upper left lung, worse decision I ever made, I have been worse than before, had one valve replaced due to me coughing up blood. I wish I would of listen to this as dr. Cooper is exilent. FDA approved these valves in June 2018, only because it's all about the money. I think dr. Cooper is right on, now I have get valves removed and I can get the surgery.
