TL;DR: A case initially referred for lung transplantation is presented, where sequential left upper lobe BLVR and 7 years later right upper lobe SLVR are presented, providing enduring physiological and functional improvement.
Abstract: Bronchoscopic Lung Volume Reduction (BLVR) and Surgical Lung Volume Reduction (SLVR) and are two different approaches used to remodel severely emphysematous lungs to improve lung function and quality-of-life. We present a case initially referred for lung transplantation, where sequential left upper lobe BLVR and 7 years later right upper lobe SLVR, providing enduring physiological and functional improvement. The potential for sustained benefit via sequential unilateral lung volume reduction is under-appreciated.
