We present an 18-year-old male with Fallot's tetralogy (ToF) repaired with a transannular and main pulmonary artery (PA) patch, who suffered an acute coronary artery compression after a Harmony-TPV deployment. Left main coronary artery compression was confirmed with angiography and IVUS. He underwent emergent surgery, with a bioprosthetic valve replacement.

Background: Bronchoscopic lung volume reduction (BLVR) can be an effective treatment for highly selected patients with severe emphysema but only half of carefully selected patients derive clinical benefit. Two commercially available platforms exist to help determine candidacy for BLVR via quantitative analysis of computed tomography (CT) scans.
Objectives: To determine if the two commercially available quantitative platforms identified the same patient population that may benefit from BLVR.
