Description

The outcome of a successful lung volume reduction surgery depends on many factors that go beyond a good surgical technique. Good case selection by an experienced multidisciplinary team for COPD/emphysema patients is key for a successful LVRS program. As we present each case, supporting evidence and best management practice will be discussed among a MDT that includes thoracic surgeons, pulmonologists, interventional pulmonologists, radiologists, a physiotherapists, advanced practice providers, respiratory therapists and nurses.
