More than 20 years ago, surgical lung volume reduction (LVRS) was already established in patients with advanced emphysema as a palliative therapy option that reduces respiratory distress and improves lung function and quality of life. In addition, bronchoscopic procedures (BLVR) aimed at volume reduction have existed for just over 10 years. The advantages and disadvantages of LVRS and BLVR are discussed in this article.

D011656 Pulmonary Emphysema Enlargement of air spaces distal to the TERMINAL BRONCHIOLES where gas-exchange normally takes place. This is usually due to destruction of the alveolar wall.
