Bronchial thermoplasty is a young yet promising treatment for severe asthma whose benefit for long-term asthma control outweighs the short-term risk of deterioration and hospitalisation in the days following the treatment. It is an innovative treatment whose clinical efficacy and safety are beginning to be better understood. Since this is a device-based therapy, the overall evaluation of risk-benefit is unlike that of pharmaceutical products; safety aspects, regulatory requirements, study design and effect size assessment may be unfamiliar. The mechanisms of action and optimal patient selection need to be addressed in further rigorous clinical and scientific studies. Bronchial thermoplasty fits in perfectly with the movement to expand personalised medicine in the field of chronic airway disorders. This is a device-based complimentary asthma treatment that must be supported and developed in order to meet the unmet needs of modern severe asthma management. The mechanisms of action and the type of patients that benefit from bronchial thermoplasty are the most important challenges for bronchial thermoplasty in the future.
支气管热成形术是一种针对重度哮喘的新兴且有前景的治疗方法,其对长期哮喘控制的益处超过了治疗后数天内病情恶化和住院的短期风险。它是一种创新疗法,其临床疗效和安全性正开始被更好地理解。由于这是一种基于设备的治疗方法,风险效益的总体评估与药品不同;安全方面、监管要求、研究设计和效应大小评估可能并不为人熟悉。作用机制和最佳患者选择需要在进一步严格的临床和科学研究中加以探讨。支气管热成形术与慢性气道疾病领域中扩大个性化医疗的趋势完美契合。这是一种基于设备的辅助性哮喘治疗方法,必须得到支持和发展,以满足现代重度哮喘管理中未被满足的需求。作用机制以及从支气管热成形术中获益的患者类型是支气管热成形术未来面临的最重要挑战。
