OBJECTIVE To investigate the feasibility of Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) using cultured human corneal endothelial cells (HCECs) in an animal model. METHODS Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty grafts were produced by seeding cultured HCEC suspensions onto human corneal stromal discs. Three insertion techniques were assessed in an ex vivo model...

A Anomalia de Peters é uma malformação do segmento anterior olho, secundária a um defeito na migração das células da crista neural. É caracterizada por opacidade corneana central e alterações no estroma posterior, membrana Descemet endotélio. O objetivo deste artigo ilustrar tipo I, relatando caso paciente 4 anos, assim como discutir o manejo clínico cirúrgico as complicações doença.

A 67-year-old man underwent a trabeculectomy for pseudo-exfoliative glaucoma. The postoperative course was complicated by overfiltration with hypotony and a flat anterior chamber (AC) with lens touch. While the AC chamber was refilled at the slitlamp with a viscoelastic (Healon), stripping of Descemet’s membrane was observed. The patient was referred to our department. Slitlamp examination show...

OBJECTIVES To investigate visual outcome and postoperative complications in patients undergoing Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty with graft failure after penetrating keratoplasty. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective analysis was performed with 5 patients who underwent Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty after failed penetrating keratoplasty. Intraoperative and postoperative...

DeepVein Thrombosis FollowingDescemet Stripping Automated Endothelial Keratoplasty Venous thromboembolism is the secondmost commonmedical complication after surgery.1 The risk factors for development of deepvein thrombosis (DVT) include age, obesity, and diabetesmellitus.1Deepvein thrombosis associatedwithophthalmic surgery, specifically vitreoretinal surgery, has been reported.2 Descemet strip...
