Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Methods, systems and devices are described for performing lung volume reduction in patients suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or other conditions where isolation of a lung segment or reduction of lung volume is desired. The methods are minimally invasive with instruments being introduced through the mouth (endotracheally) and rely on isolating the target lung tissue segment from other regions of the lung and occluding various lung passageways with the use of occlusal stents (46). The occlusal stents are delivered with the use of an occlusal stent delivery system (10) which is loaded with the occlusal stent with the use of an occlusal stent loading system (130).
