Prolonged transplant-free survival in which atelectasis occurs after bronchoscopic lung volume reduction with endobronchial valves. The upper line shows significantly improved survival in patients (n = 5) in whom radiological atelectasis occurred after endobronchial valve placement occurred compared with the lower line (n = 14), for which atelectasis did not occur (P = 0.017).
