Abstract
BACKGROUND Lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS) has been proven to be a successful procedure and can be performed with low mortality when defined selection criteria are met. We hypothesized good outcome and low mortality after LVRS for selected patients with severe hyperinflation and nonhomogeneous morphology even when diffusion capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (Dlco) is less than 20%. METHODS The study included all patients scheduled for LVRS between March 2005 and May 2014 with a preoperative Dlco of less than 20%. Postop
