Entry criteria: Non‐smokers (>/= 6 months); symptomatic despite optimised medical therapy; NYHA Class III–IV; evidence of airflow obstruction & hyperinflation by pulmonary function studies (i.e., FEV1 < 30% of predicted, postbronchodilator administration, FRC or TLC> 120% of predicted), hyperinflation documented by chest X‐ray and diffuse bullous emphysema documented by high‐resolution computed tomography (CT) scan, decreased or absent perfusion documented in planned resected lung tissue by quantitative perfusion lung scan

Exclusion criteria: Severe & refractory hypoxemia (PaO2/FIO2 ratio < 150); severe hypercapnic respiratory failure requiring mechanical ventilation; presence of significant cardiovascular disease; presence of severe pulmonary hypertension (mean pulmonary artery pressure > 35 mm Hg); severe debilitated state with total body weight < 70% of ideal body weight, presence of significant extrapulmonary end‐organ dysfunction expected to limit survival; psychosocial dysfunction; continued smoking.

Interventions

LVRS via MS & bilateral stapling resection versus usual medical care (including pulmonary rehabilitation).

Pulmonary rehabilitation: 8 week prgramme with additional 3 months in patients randomised to control. PR had educational, physical, psychosocial supportive components. All participants had individualised programmes based on exercise test results.

Outcomes assessed 8 weeks of outpatient pulmonary rehabilitation, and 3 months after additional pulmonary rehabilitation or LVRS.

Outcomes

Lung function (performed following ATS guidelines); Arterial blood gases; Sickness Impact Profile (SIP); mortality
