Effect of bronchial thermoplasty on static and dynamic lung compliance and resistance in patients with severe persistent asthma

Bronchial thermoplasty (BT) reduces severity and frequency of bronchoconstriction and symptoms in severe, persistent asthmatics although it is usually not associated with change in spirometric variables. Other than spirometry. there are almost no data on changes in lung mechanics following BT.
