Experimental epikeratophakia with biological adhesive.
Successful experimental epikeratophakia grafting was done with the use of a biological adhesive. The use of an adhesive eliminated the need for any suturing of the corneal lenticule to the host cornea, and this method reduced the length of the operative procedure to only one third of the time that is taken when sutures are used. Tisseel (Immuno AG, Vienna), a commercially available two-componen...
متن کاملExperimental epikeratophakia using tissue lathed at room temperature.
This report presents for the first time the results of carrying out epikeratophakia with tissue lathed at room temperature. Using an experimental model of epikeratophakia in the rabbit, we evaluated tissue handling techniques for the preparation of donor lenticules. Details of the technique are described and the in-vivo and histopathological findings reported.
متن کاملIntroduction to epikeratophakia
In the swamp lands of Louisiana the dead are buried in tombs above ground rather than interred in the waterlogged earth. Observation of this reversal of the usual arrangements prompted TP Werblin to conceive the procedure of epikeratoyhakia in 1979.' In this keratorefractive technique, instead of attempting direct invasive modification of the corneal contour, a preshaped refractive lamella is s...
متن کاملEpikeratophakia for aphakia, keratoconus, and myopia.
A series of 67 cases of epikeratophakia is presented with an average time from surgery of 12.2 months. For aphakia there was a delay in the recovery of vision, but by nine months 83% of 57 patients achieved an acuity equal to, or within 1 line of, the preoperative value. 57% were corrected to within 3 dioptres of emmetropia, but in the latter part of the series 75% were within this range. Astig...
متن کاملIntravascular microcatheter pressure monitoring: experimental results and early clinical evaluation.
With the use of Tracker and Balt microcatheter systems, intravascular pressure measurements were obtained in an experimental animal model, establishing the reliability of mean blood pressure measurements from these microcatheter systems. In the experimental model, selective occlusion of branches of the external carotid artery with simultaneous pressure measurements showed significant and reprod...
