Targeted lung denervation (TLD) is a procedure, that is currently being studied, to try to improve chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).[1] Evidence to support its use is insufficient as of 2015.[1] TLD is intended to block airway nerves of the parasympathetic nervous system to try to relax the airways.[2] The procedure is done using a balloon catheter through a bronchoscope and uses radio frequency energy. The bronchoscope is passed through the person's mouth and into their lungs. A dual-cooled radiofrequency ablation catheter is passed through the bronchoscope to provide the treatment.
