A method of reducing the size of a lung by collapsing a target section of
the lung includes delivering within a lung air passageway leading to the
target section an intra-bronchial device. The device is deployed in a
desired location and then the device is removed from the desired
location. The device can be removed by gripping a portion of the device
with a retractor device, which is used to draw the device proximally.
Proximal movement releases anchors of the device from the passageway and
the anchors can be collapsed into a removal configuration.
