After ELVR, there was a decrease of residual volume (both p&lt;0.001 to baseline) in both groups, and both demonstrated better quality of life (p&lt;0.01 to baseline). Forced expiratory volume in 1\u2005s (FEV<jats:sub>1<\/jats:sub>) improved significantly only in patients with a<jats:italic>D<\/jats:italic><jats:sub>LCO<\/jats:sub>&gt;20% (p&lt;0.001 to baseline). Exercise capacity remained almost unchanged in both groups (p=0.3). The most frequent complication for both groups was a pneumothorax (<jats:italic>D<\/jats:italic><jats:sub>LCO<\/jats:sub>\u226420%: 17.6%<jats:italic>versus D<\/jats:italic><jats:sub>LCO<\/jats:sub>&gt;20%: 16.1%; p=0.728).
