- Patient has demonstrated unwillingness or inability to complete baseline data collection procedures.
- Patient has co-existing major medical disease that will limit evaluation, participation, or follow-up in the study.
- Patient is unable to provide informed consent.
- Patient is not an appropriate candidate for or is unable to tolerate, flexible bronchoscopy procedures.
- Patient has history of 4 or more hospitalizations for COPD exacerbation or respiratory infections in the past year and none have occurred in the prior 3 months.

Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Experimental
Treatment
The treatment algorithm is complete occlusion of one lobe of the lung by using valves to occlude all segments of the lobe. The lobe will be selected based on imaging with high resolution computed tomography (HRCT). The lobe to be treated will have severe heterogeneous emphysema based on visual exam. The selected lobe will also have an intact fissure separation with the ipsilateral lobe. An intact fissure will be estimated visually to be ≥ 90% complete after viewing the HRCT in 3 dimensions. If more than one lobe meets criteria, the investigator will determine a primary lobe to treat based on fissure completeness, heterogeneity, disease severity, and the anatomy of the airways that will be treated.
