tients’ ability to take deep breaths.

The ELVR procedure deflates the most
seriously damaged sections of the lungs
by inserting tiny Zephyr valves through a
bronchoscope, which allows the healthi-
er lobes to function better.

And it’s a minimally invasive proce-
dure which means shorter hospital stays
and less risk of infection.

But if you ask Maldonado, he might say
the best thing about ELVR is the smiles
he’s gotten already.

He recalls one of his first ELVR pa-
tients walking the hospital halls just
two days after the procedure and, with
a wide grin, telling him, “‘I feel better. I
don’t know if it’s normal that I feel this
much better this fast, but I do.’”

That grin was natural enough, consid-
ering that patients with advanced COPD
have spent years with severe shortness
of breath from just minimal exertion.
They cannot stand up from a chair and
take few steps without huffing and puff-
ing and in many cases they are tied to an
oxygen tank.

That said, Maldonado is quick to point
out that – for now, anyway – ELVR is not
for everyone with COPD.

There is a screening process to identify
good candidates for the procedure.

As Maldonado explains, “we know
that patients who are candidates for this
procedure are stage three or four – severe
or very severe – but not everyone within
that category is a candidate.

“We do a series of studies once we
think a patient is a candidate and order
a series of tests to see if the patient quali-
fies.”

COPD patients should consult their
pulmonologist or primary care physi-
cian for information about this new pro-
cedure, which is now covered by Medi-
care, to see if they qualify.

Finally, when asked if ELVR might not
have been available to local residents for
months or even years had the Cleveland
Clinic not taken over the Indian River
hospital, Maldonado offers a simple re-
ply. “Correct. Correct. You’re very right.”

Dr. Diego Maldonado is director of pul-
monary services at the Cleveland Clinic
Indian River Hospital. His office is at 3450
11th Court, Suite 306. The phone number
is 772-794-5800. 

the champagne method, now more
commonly called the traditional
method (because “champagne meth-
od” allows other regions to link their
wines with champagne), the bubbles
are formed during a second fermenta-
tion in the bottle.

Other sparkling wines are made in
the Charmat, or bulk, method. Essen-
tially, they are carbonated under pres-
sure with carbon dioxide in large tanks.
This is obviously cheaper. Prosecco is
made this way, and can be quite good.

2. Vintage isn’t (always) important.
Many sparkling wines do not carry
a vintage date on the label. They are
“nonvintage” wines, or as some pro-
ducers prefer, “multi-vintage,” blend-
ing wines from several harvests.
The multi-vintage blending practice
developed as a hedge against Cham-
pagne’s uncertain northern climate,
but also because producers wanted to
develop a consistent house style. By
blending reserve wines from older vin-
tages with the new harvest, they could
guard against the excessive ripeness of
a hot year or the more anemic wines of
a rainy vintage.

The master suite is cool and spa-
cious, a plantation-shuttered retreat
with a huge, brightly-lit custom walk-
in closet. Double sliders offer access
to the terrace and a peaceful view.

The master bath is a showcase of
pale marble, starring a Jacuzzi tub
with a wonderful, wide waterfall tub
filler, which is separated from the
spacious tiled shower by a seamless
glass wall. The long double-sink van-

ity includes a dressing table and gold
fixtures. The tray ceiling here is pen-
tagonal, and sports a lovely metal,
crystal and candlelight chandelier.

The guest area contains three bed-
rooms: one en suite and two sharing
a Jack-and-Jill bathroom with tub/

shower. A hallway in this area con-
tains a utility closet along its entire
length.

The homeowners were drawn to
this River Club residence immediate-
ly, pleasantly surprised at “how big it
is.” They consider their neighborhood
to be “one of the most beautiful” in
River Club, and also rave about the
lush landscaping, the excellent level
of maintenance, and the huge pool
(one of two) where, says the lady of
the house, “my husband does laps.”

She loves the unique kitchen tile
and the “unparalleled security,”
and adds “the balconies were a huge
draw, with views to the east, south
and west” and “it is very private, it
feels like a house,” even though it’s on
the third floor.

From this luxury community in
Indian River Shores, it’s but a short,
scenic drive south on A1A into Ve-
ro’s charming island village, with
its plethora of boutiques, shops,
restaurants, resorts and pubs. The
island’s Riverside Park is home to
the nationally renowned Riverside
Theatre (Equity), the acclaimed Vero
Beach Museum of Art, and a variety
of “under the oaks” art, cultural and
community events during the year;
there’s also a boat launch, tennis
courts, jogging trail and 5-acre dog
