[Transpupillary thermotherapy and age-related macular degeneration].
Transpupillary thermotherapy (TTT) has been proposed over the last a few years for the treatment of subfoveal occult choroidal neovessels resulting from age-related degeneration (AMD) when they are symptomatic and associated with exudation. Several pilot studies have shown how this technique can decrease or slow down the progression of exudation related to choroidal neovessels. Based on these p...

متن کاملTranspupillary thermotherapy for atypical central serous chorioretinopathy
BACKGROUND Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) has been traditionally treated with laser photocoagulation. We thought that transpupillary thermotherapy (TTT) utilizing a lower temperature than that of conventional laser photocoagulation might minimize permanent retinal and choroidal damage. Studies suggest that undesirable effects on vision due to TTT are minimal even if it is applied to fov...
متن کاملHeat shock protein hyperexpression on chorioretinal layers after transpupillary thermotherapy.
PURPOSE To assess a biological effect induced by temperature elevation during transpupillary thermotherapy (TTT). METHODS Six pigmented rabbits were anesthetized, and TTT was performed on the right eye using an 810-nm diode laser installed on a slit lamp (spot size, 1.3 mm; duration, 60 seconds; power, 92-150 mW). A series of laser pulses were aimed at the posterior pole of the retina. The le...
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...
