Bronchial Thermoplasty-Induced Acute Airway Effects Assessed with Optical Coherence Tomography in Severe Asthma

Conclusions: Acute BT effects can be safely assessed with OCT and 3 distinct patterns were identified. The acute effects extended beyond the targeted ASM layer and distal of directly BT-treated airway areas, suggesting that BT might also target smaller distal airways.Respiration
