A study of laser photocoagulation for polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy.
PURPOSE To evaluate the efficacy of laser photocoagulation for polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) involving the macula. METHODS The records of 38 patients (47 eyes) undergoing laser photocoagulation for PCV causing serosanguineous detachment involving the fovea were reviewed and the results were evaluated. Ten eyes underwent photocoagulation to induce a fusion scar covering whole lesions...
متن کاملP 404 Title: Dye laser photocoagulation of recurrent choroidal neovascularization
PURPOSE: We studied the effects of exposure to mitomycin C and 5-Fluorcuracil to human RPE cultures, in growth inhibition and citoxicity. METHODS: 1) Growth inhibition: RPE cultures (3.000 cells/well) were exposed to different concentrations of mitomycin C and 5-Fluorouracil, and cell viability (MTT test) was evaluated 48h, 72h and 96h after. 2) Citotoxicity: RPE cultures (10.000 cells/well) we...
متن کاملIncremental cost effectiveness of laser photocoagulation for subfoveal choroidal neovascularization.
OBJECTIVE To perform a patient preference-based, incremental cost-effectiveness analysis for laser treatment of subfoveal choroidal neovascularization. DESIGN Computer-based econometric modeling. METHODS The cost effectiveness of laser photocoagulation therapy was compared with the natural course of subfoveal choroidal neovascularization. The model applied long-term visual data from previou...
متن کاملInfluence of laser photocoagulation on choroidal capillary cytoarchitecture.
AIM To identify if laser photocoagulation induces morphological changes specifically related to the choroidal capillary endothelial processes that protrude into Bruch's membrane. METHODS Two human eyes and one adult macaque monkey eye received retinal laser photocoagulation that was just suprathreshold, before enucleation or exenteration. They were examined by electron microscopy to determine...
متن کاملPhotocoagulation of choroidal neovascular membranes with a diode laser.
Nine eyes with parafoveal choroidal neovascular membranes due to age-related macular degeneration or angioid streaks were treated with a diode laser and were followed up to 40 weeks (mean 26 weeks). Angiographically proved closure of the membrane was achieved in seven eyes. Four lesions needed a second treatment for growth of subretinal neovascular tissue. Post-treatment visual acuity ranged fr...
