Targeted photocoagulation of peripheral ischemia to treat rebound edema
INTRODUCTION Peripheral retinal ischemia not detectable by conventional fluorescein angiography has been proposed to be a driving force for rebound edema in retinal vein occlusions. In this report, we examine the treatment of peripheral retinal ischemia with targeted retinal photocoagulation (TRP) to manage a patient's rebound edema. METHODS To assess the extent of peripheral nonperfusion, an...
متن کاملDirect photocoagulation to leakage points to treat chronic macular edema associated with branch retinal vein occlusion: a pilot study
SUMMARY STATEMENT Direct photocoagulation reduces the central foveal thickness (CFT) in cases with chronic branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) of longer than 12 months duration. Photo-coagulation might be effective for chronic macular edema due to branch retinal vein occlusion. BACKGROUND The aim was to investigate the effect of direct photocoagulation for treating chronic macular edema asso...
متن کاملInfliximab for Diabetic Macular Edema Refractory to Laser Photocoagulation
OBJECTIVE Because many patients with diabetic macular edema (DME) do not respond to focal/grid laser photocoagulation, the only currently approved treatment, alternatives are needed. Based on encouraging preliminary findings, we aimed to assess efficacy and safety of the anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) monoclonal antibody infliximab in this condition. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS This was a s...
متن کاملTransscleral Photocoagulation to Treat ROP in Eyes with Media Opacity
It has been well established that laser treatment for type 1 prethreshold retinopathy of prematurity is effective in approximately 90 percent of treated eyes, avoiding retinal detachment.1 Transpupillary laser therapy is certainly the standard; however, there are circumstances in which transpupillary treatment may be difficult or impossible to perform thus allowing progression of retinopathy of...
متن کاملUse of p53‐Silenced Endothelial Progenitor Cells to Treat Ischemia in Diabetic Peripheral Vascular Disease
BACKGROUND Peripheral vascular disease is a major diabetes mellitus-related complication. In this study, we noted that expressions of proapoptotic p53 gene and its downstream cascade gene such as p21 are upregulated in hyperglycemia. Therefore, we investigated whether p53- and p21-silenced endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) were able to survive in hyperglycemic milieu, and whether transplantat...
