ABSTRACT Lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS) is an option for select patients with advanced chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Current guidelines recommend LVRS for patients with appropriate physiology and heterogeneous distribution of emphysema predominately involving upper lobes. We present an unusual case of a 72-year-old male with an advanced COPD who suffered with recurrent exacerbations despite optimal medical management. He underwent a two-stage bilateral lower lobe LVRS for heterogeneous lower lobe emphysema via video-assisted thoracoscopic (VATS) approach. This resulted in a significant subjective as well as objective improvement in his pulmonary functions, 6-min walk distance and subsequent discontinuation of supplemental oxygen.
