Abstract
Lung-volume reduction surgery can significantly improve symptoms and lung function in selected patients who are initially potential candidates for LTX. Lung-volume reduction surgery can allow the postponement of LTX for up to 4 to 5 years and does not impair the chances for a subsequent successful LTX.
