Background. Surgery to reduce lung volume has recently been reintroduced to alleviate dyspnea and improve exercise tolerance in selected patients with emphysema. A reliable means of identifying patients who are likely to benefit from this surgery is needed. Methods. We measured lung resistance during inspiration, static recoil pressure at total lung capacity, static lung compliance, expiratory ...

Lung transplant is a complex and well-established therapeutic modalit...
متن کاملPathologic findings in lung volume reduction surgery.
PURPOSE Lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS) has re-emerged as an alternative in the management of patients with chronic, debilitating, emphysematous lung disease. This has permitted the formal evaluation of pathologic pulmonary changes present in these patients. This study seeks to describe systematically the pathologic findings present in patients undergoing LVRS. METHODS Tissue sections st...
متن کاملCombined operations for lung volume reduction surgery and lung cancer.
Fifty-three lung masses were found in 51 (16%) of 325 patients who underwent lung volume reduction surgery. This included 11 non-small cell lung cancers and 42 benign lung masses. Eleven patients (mean age, 69.4 years) underwent a combined lung volume reduction surgery and resection of clinical stage I lung cancers (lymph node dissection with either lobectomy [3] or wedge resection [8]). There ...
