Incidence and Outcomes of Revision Bronchoscopies Following Bronchoscopic Lung Volume Reduction (BLVR)
Post-BLVR revision bronchoscopies are necessary in ∼20% of patients for either loss of target lobe atelectasis or failure to achieve atelectasis after the initial BLVR procedure. In many cases, especially when atelectasis is lost, revision bronchoscopies can reestablish post-BLVR atelectasis.
