Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of endoscopic valve implantation in patients with COPD and PH on hemodynamics, symptoms, exercise tolerance and quality of life in 10 patients in a prospective study. An improvement of objective parameters may also have a prognostic significance
