Özet
For patients with severe disabling emphysema, lung-volume reduction surgery has recently been introduced as an alternative to transplantation. Performing parenchyma resection from appropriate areas can improve pulmonary functions in selected patients having severe emphysema with a flattened diaphragm. We report the case of a patient, who urgently needed coronary revascularization and was otherwise inoperable because of severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We carried out lung-volume reduction surgery at the same time as the coronary bypass.
