DOI: 10.1016/j.arbr.2016.11.009
Abstract: Emphysema is characterized by alveolar destruction distal to the terminal bronchioles causing hyperinflation and reduced gas exchange, resulting in dyspnea, and exercise limitation. Lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS) of the hyperinflated emphysematous lung improves elastic… read more here.
