Double Descemet Stripping Automated Endothelial Keratoplasty (DSAEK): Secondary DSAEK Without Removal of the Failed Primary DSAEK Graft

Histologically proven epithelial ingrowth in failed Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) managed by repeat DSAEK

PURPOSE To report a case of corneal graft failure due to epithelial ingrowth after an uneventful combined Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) and phacoemulsification cataract surgery with intraocular lens implant treated successfully with a repeat DSAEK. METHODS A 77-year-old male patient underwent combined DSAEK and phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implant ...

Transient peripheral edema following displaced corneal graft after descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK): case presentation

BACKGROUND Descemet's Stripping with Automated Endothelial Keratoplasty (DSAEK) is constantly gaining popularity in the management of endothelial dysfunctions such as bullous keratopathy or Fuchs' dystrophy. CASE PRESENTATION A 36 year-old man with Fuchs' dystrophy underwent combined phacoemulsification and DSAEK of the right eye. Immediately postoperatively, corneal graft displacement and pe...

Subconjunctival Emphysema After Descemet's Stripping Automated Endothelial Keratoplasty (DSAEK)

DSAEK has recently evolved as a preferred method in place of PKP. After DSAEK, we experienced subconjunctival emphysema, decreased air bubble in the AC and low IOP. This could lead to complications, higher rate of dislocation or infection. We should control the wound closure with suture when in doubt.

Histopathological findings of failed grafts following Descemet's stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK).

PURPOSE To study the histopathological findings of the early cases of failed DSAEK grafts and to analyze the causes of graft failure. METHODS Retrospective study of 13 failed DSAEK grafts (four grafts submitted alone with no host cornea) of 12 patients. The histopathologic features are correlated with the clinical and operative findings. RESULTS Significant attenuation of the endothelial ce...
