ABSTRACT
Irritant-induced asthma (IIA) may develop after acute inhalational exposure in individuals without preexisting asthma. The effect of bronchial thermoplasty to treat intractable, worsening IIA has not yet been described. We evaluated a previously healthy 52-year-old man after inhalation of an unknown white powder. His pulmonary function and symptoms/quality of life worsened over 4 years, despite maximal guidelines-based asthma therapy. We acquired 129Xe MRI and pulmonary function test measurements on three occasions including before and after bronchial thermoplasty treatment. Seven months after bronchial thermoplasty, improved MRI ventilation and oscillometry small airway resistance were observed. Spirometry and asthma control did not improve until 19 months after bronchial thermoplasty, 5.5 years postexposure. Together, oscillometry measurements of the small airways and 129Xe MRI provided effort-independent, sensitive, and objective measurements of response to therapy. Improved MRI and oscillometry small airway resistance measurements temporally preceded improved airflow obstruction and may be considered for complex asthma cases.
