  • Title: Defeating the pores of Kohn.
    Author: Ng CS, Lau RW, Lau KK, Underwood MJ, Yim AP.
    Journal: Asian Cardiovasc Thorac Ann; 2014 Jan; 22(1):102-4. PubMed ID: 24585656.
    Abstract:
    In the treatment of emphysema with an endobronchial valve, entire lobar treatment is important in achieving adequate atelectasis. This case illustrates that without treatment of the entire lobe, it can fail to collapse even after several years, leading to treatment failure. Intralobar collateral ventilation through the pores of Kohn is demonstrated in this case, as endobronchial valve blockage of the remaining patent anterior segment resulted in the desired atelectasis and significant improvements in pulmonary function.
