The objective of this Registry is to collect real-world outcome data for bronchial thermoplasty (BT) procedures in patients with severe persistent asthma who remain symptomatic despite taking standard of care maintenance medications.

Data will be used to confirm the impact of BT on safety, effectiveness, quality of life, and the anticipated reduction in healthcare utilization events and cost by way of a reduction in severe asthma exacerbations.
