news-medical.net — “Earlier studies have suggested that up to three quarters of people with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or COPD, are deficient in the vitamin.

Lung Volume Reduction Surgery (LVRS) for COPD at Columbia Univeristy Medical Center
columbiasurgery.org — “Lung Volume Reduction Surgery (LVRS), involving removal of sections of damaged lung tissue, has shown promising results for patients with end-stage emphysema.

LVRS can be performed through either median sternotomy (open chest) or video-assisted minimally invasive technique.” View full resource at columbiasurgery.org
