Arteriovenous adventitial sheathotomy for the treatment of macular edema associated with branch retinal vein occlusion - 05/09/11
Abstract |
PURPOSE: To report arteriovenous adventitial sheathotomy for treatment of macular edema associated with branch retinal vein occlusion.
METHODS: Case reports with review. Five eyes of five patients with best-corrected visual acuity of less than 20/200 secondary to branch retinal vein occlusion had pars plana vitrectomy and arteriovenous adventitial sheathotomy and were followed postoperatively for a mean of 6.5 years (range, 5 to 7 years).
RESULTS: In four of five eyes, the best-corrected visual acuity improved to 20/30 to 20/70. In the remaining eye, visual acuity remained at finger counting secondary to macular ischemia.
CONCLUSION: Arteriovenous adventitial sheathotomy may be beneficial for select patients with poor vision secondary to branch retinal vein occlusion.
