摘要：
Systems and devices for minimally invasively treating an air leak in a lung comprise the steps of detecting an air leak in a lung locating an airway in fluid communication with the air leak, introducing a bronchoscope into a patients airway to a position adjacent the target section and occluding an airway upstream of the air leak for a period of time. The airway occlusion device is preferably removed after the air leak has substantially permanently healed. The occluding device may be a one-way valve. The occluding device may also comprise strut members and anchors that penetrate an airway wall.
