Lung volume reduction surgery for severe emphysema.
The lung-volume reduction procedure is a palliative one, designed to relieve dyspnea, and improve the patient's ability to carry out routine activities of daily living without significant limitations. The rationale for this procedure and its development are discussed. In addition, patient selection, operative technique, postoperative care, results, and complications are considered. Ultimately, ...
متن کاملLung volume reduction surgery versus conservative treatment in severe emphysema.
Lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS) has been proposed for patients with severe emphysema to improve dyspnoea and pulmonary function. It is unknown, however, whether prognosis and pulmonary function in these patients can be improved compared to conservative treatment. The effect of LVRS and conservative therapy were compared prospectively in 57 patients with emphysema, who fulfilled the standar...
متن کاملEndoscopic lung volume reduction in severe emphysema.
Therapeutic options in severe emphysema are limited. Endoscopic lung volume reduction (ELVR) refers to bronchoscopically inducing volume loss to improve pulmonary mechanics and compliance, thereby reducing the work of breathing. Globally, this technique is increasingly used as treatment for advanced emphysema with the aim of obtaining similar functional advantages to surgical lung volume reduct...
متن کاملLung function 4 years after lung volume reduction surgery for emphysema.
STUDY OBJECTIVES Current data for patients > 2 years after lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS) for emphysema is limited. This prospective study evaluates pre-LVRS baseline data and provides long-term results in 26 patients. INTERVENTION Bilateral targeted upper lobe stapled LVRS using video thoracoscopy was performed in 26 symptomatic patients (18 men) aged 67 +/- 6 years (mean +/- SD) with ...
متن کاملLung function after bilateral lower lobe lung volume reduction surgery for alpha1-antitrypsin emphysema.
This study explores the mechanism(s) of airflow limitation following lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS) in patients with emphysema due to homozygous alpha1-antitrypsin (AT) deficiency. Bilateral targeted lower lobe stapled LVRS using video thoracoscopy was performed in six patients (five males) aged 61+/-9 yrs (mean+/-SD) with alpha1-AT emphysema. Two patients received only a 6-month follow-u...
