متن کاملRetinal temperature increase during transpupillary thermotherapy: effects of pigmentation, subretinal blood, and choroidal blood flow.
PURPOSE To study the risk of adverse events in transpupillary thermotherapy (TTT) for age-related macular degeneration by measuring how laser-induced retinal temperature increase is affected experimentally by subretinal blood, choroidal blood flow, and chorioretinal pigmentation. METHODS An ultrafine thermocouple technique was developed to measure retinal temperature increase during TTT in al...
متن کاملSubretinal pneumatic displacement of subretinal hemorrhage.
Massive submacular hemorrhage can cause disastrous visual complications. Prompt displacement away from the fovea is desirable in some patients. We describe a novel surgical technique involving subretinal air as a therapeutic adjuvant for massive submacular hemorrhage displacement.
متن کاملTranspupillary thermotherapy (TTT) for the treatment of choroidal neovascularisation.
AIM To assess the effectiveness of transpupillary thermotherapy (TTT) for the treatment of classic and occult choroidal neovascularisation (CNV). METHOD In a retrospective, case selected, open label trial 44 eyes of 42 patients with CNV secondary to age related macular degeneration (ARMD) were studied. 44 eyes with angiographically defined CNV were treated with diode laser (810 nm) TTT. Laser...
متن کاملTranspupilary thermotherapy of occult subfoveal choroidal neovascularization secondary to age related macular degeneration
Abstract Background: Transpupillary thermotherapy is a new treatment for subfoveal choroidal neovascularization which needs further evaluation. This study was aimed to evaluate the efficacy of transpupillary thermotherapy on regression of occult subfoveal choroidal neovascularization with or without pigment epithelial detachment in patients with age-related macular degeneration. Methods: In a ...
