已经提出了肺粪池减少手术(LVRS)为严重肺气肿的患者提高呼吸困难和肺功能。然而,与保守治疗相比,这些患者的预后和肺功能是未知的。在57例肺气肿患者中预先实现了LVRS和保守疗法的影响,他满足了LVRS的标准标准。根据自己的决定,患者分为两组。第1族患者(n = 29,29,女性,平均值+/-SEM 58.8 +/- 1.7 YRS,强制呼气量在一秒内(FEV1)27.6 +/- 1.3%的预测值)接受了LVRS。第2组患者(n = 28,5例,女性,58.5 +/- 1.8 YRS,FEV1 30.8 +/- 1.4%pred)优选推迟LVR。基线两组之间的肺功能没有显着差异;但是,对照组中存在更好的功能状态。该对照组有更好的修改医学研究委员会(MMRC)呼吸困难评分(3.1 +/- 0.15与3.5 +/- 0.1,P <0.04)。基于模型的比较用于估计两组超过18个月的两组之间的差异。 Significant improvements were observed in the LVRS group compared to the control group in FEV1, total lung capacity (TLC), Residual volume (RV), MMRC dyspnea score and 6-min walking distance on all follow up visits. The estimated difference in FEV1 was 33% (95% confidence interval 13-58%; p>0.0001), in TLC 12.9% (7.9-18.8%; p>0.0001), in RV 60.9% 32.6-89.2%; p>0.0001), in 6-min walking distance 230 m (138-322 m; p<0.002) and in MMRC dyspnoea score 1.17 (0.79-1.55; p<0.0001). In conclusion, lung volume reduction surgery is more effective than conservative treatment for the improvement of dyspnoea, lung function and exercise capacity in selected patients with severe emphysema.
