a) Main outcomes after each procedure and combined outcomes. b) Computed tomography scan and c) perfusion tomoscintigraphy showing the example of a patient with an extremely heterogeneous emphysema who experienced dramatic improvements after both interventions: forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) increase by 73% after a first right lower lobe EBV treatment (460 mL to 800 mL) and 74% more after a subsequent left lower lobe treatment (800 mL to 1380 mL), after an overall 2950 mL residual volume (RV) decrease (7840 to 4890 mL). d) Changes in the main parameters: RV, FEV1, 6-min walking distance (6MWD) and BODE (body mass index, obstruction (FEV1), dyspnoea (modified Medical Research Council dyspnoea score (mMRC)), exercise capacity (6MWD)) score (median) after the first procedure (T1) and after contralateral treatment (T2). TLVR: target lung volume reduction; NA: not applicable.
