Problems with attempted chorioretinal venous anastomosis by laser for nonischemic CRVO and BRVO.
Ophthalmologica. Journal International D'ophtalmologie 2005 September
PURPOSE: To report the complications and long-term results of laser-induced chorioretinal venous anastomosis in vein occlusions.
PATIENTS AND METHODS: Eight consecutive eyes, 3 with central retinal vein (CRVO) and 5 with branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO), were observed for up to 5 years after attempted laser-induced chorioretinal venous anastomosis.
RESULTS: Successful chorioretinal venous anastomoses were created in 2 (25%) eyes. Patients had severe complications, including vitreous hemorrhage, choroidal neovascular membrane, choriovitreal neovascularization, rubeosis iridis and neovascular glaucoma.
CONCLUSION: The utilization of a chorioretinal venous anastomosis by laser with proposed laser settings as a therapeutic modality should be further analyzed, and a careful long-term follow-up must be done to avoid vision-threatening complications.
