Use of perfluorocarbon liquids in proliferative vitreoretinopathy: results and complications.
BACKGROUND The present study was set up to evaluate the influence of perfluorocarbon liquids on the postoperative anatomical and functional results as well as on the complication rates in eyes with proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR). METHODS Sixty five consecutive eyes (64 patients) with PVR in different stages requiring surgical intervention where liquid perfluorocarbons were used were co...
متن کاملPerfluorocarbon Liquid for Dissection of Proliferative Vitreoretinopathy: Avoiding Subretinal Persistence
Dear Editor, I read with interest the article titled " Subretinal Perfluorocarbon Liquid for Dissection of Proliferative Vitreoretinopathy " by Dalma-Weiszhausz et al. 1 Perfluorocarbon liquids (PFCLs) effectively stabilize the retina and facilitate efficient repair of complex retinal detachments due to proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR). PFCLs however, have some drawbacks 2 which may be avo...
متن کاملSubretinal Perfluorocarbon Liquid for Dissection of Proliferative Vitreoretinopathy
Proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) is a frequent condition following complex retinal detachments or trauma, and subretinal PVR is a common cause of retinal redetachment. Subretinal PVR removal is challenging and may require creating multiple or large retinotomies, making manipulation of the retina difficult and sometimes hazardous. We propose a novel surgical technique that may facilitate su...
متن کاملProliferative vitreoretinopathy.
PURPOSE. The migration, proliferation, differentiation, and adhesion of cells and other cellular functions are influenced by the surrounding extracellular matrix, in normal and wound-healing conditions. The matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of enzymes that degrade and remodel the extracellular matrix and, thus, play a central role in the wound-healing process. Proliferative vitreore...
متن کاملApoptosis in proliferative vitreoretinopathy.
PURPOSE To study the involvement of apoptosis using different apoptosis markers in PVR pathogenesis. METHODS The presence of mRNA coding for Fas, Fas ligand (FasL), and TNF-related apoptosis inducing ligand (TRAIL) was investigated in vitreous samples from 46 consecutive patients-25 with PVR, 11 with retinal detachment (RD) not complicated by PVR, and 10 with macular hole (MH)-using RT-PCR. F...
