AbstractEndoscopic lung volume reduction has emerged over the past several years as a promising technique to improve the respiratory functional status of patients with advanced emphysema. Nevertheless, the procedure may be associated with various complications; among them, the development of bronchiectasis related to the coils has not yet been described. We report the case of a patient with emphysema who developed localized bronchiectasis at the site of coil insertion several months after lung volume reduction coil treatment.Copyright © 2017 American College of Chest Physicians.
