Data are presented as n (%). BT: bronchial thermoplasty. #: microcavities that could correspond to minimal aerated bronchograms in predominantly filled bronchial lumen in 21 cases; ¶: all cases of complete lobar collapse involved the left lower lobe; +: BT-untreated lobes involved the middle lobe (n=5), right lower lobe (n=4), left lower lobe (n=2) and left upper lobe (n=1).
