Hope for COPD Patients with New Valve Treatment
Nick, a 50-year-old New Jersey accountant, developed COPD from long-term smoking.
Dr. Killol K. Patel performed Nick's 2024 procedure at Hackensack Meridian Health.
Over 40,000 patients treated since 2018 FDA approval for the valve procedure.
Nick lost 75 pounds and reduced medications after procedure, now walking 15,000 steps daily.
Dr. Patel emphasizes early COPD evaluation improves patient quality of life.
