Abstract
Introduction: Compared to surgery there is no evidence on bronchoscopic lung volume reduction (LVR) in patients with fading benefit after LVR surgery. CASE REPORT: We present a case of 64-year old female patient who was successfully treated with bronchial thermal vapor ablation (BTVA) after previous ineffective lung volume reduction (LVR) surgery several months earlier. CONCLUSIONS: Bronchoscopic LVR, in particular BTVA, might be considered in patients with fading or missing effects after previous LVRS. At least, the safety profile of BTVA seems not be adversely affected by previous LVRS, when proper patient selection and procedure planning are ensured.
