[Emphysema and lung volume reduction surgery--a case report].

Lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS) has been proposed as a palliative therapy in severe emphysema, with good results in lung function improvement, exercise capacity and quality of life. The authors present a case report of a 34 years old man with severe, heterogeneous lung emphysema submit to bilateral LVRS in 2000 January. Pre-surgical conditions, clinical and radiological evolution after surgery and for a 30 months follow up were analysed. Based on a literature revision, some technical aspects of LVRS, selection criteria and comparative study of medical and surgical therapy were discussed.
