Traditionally, the main treatment method has been surgical resection of the aff ected lung or lobe to reduce compression of adjacent healthy lung tissue and improve vital lung capacity. This article presents a clinical case of successful endoscopic treatment in a patient with emphysematous transformation of the entire lung, who was referred to the transplant center as a potential candidate for lung transplantation.
