Abstract

Objectives: To describe the success rate of LASER-induction of CHORIORETINAL venous ANASTOMOSIS and its effect on visual outcome in patients with RETINAL VEIN OCCLUSION associated with progressive macular edema or visual loss. Patients and Method: Ten patients with non-ischemic central RETINAL VEIN OCCLUSION, one patient with hemi-CRVO, and 2 patients with branch RETINAL VEIN OCCLUSION underwent CHORIORETINAL venous ANASTOMOSIS by argon blue LASER and/or Nd: YAG LASER. Visual acuity, fundus findings, and fluorescein angiography before and after LASER therapy were evaluated and recorded. Results: Patients were followed for a mean of 9 months (2-19). In 6 cases (46%) successful ANASTOMOSIS was created and in 4 patients (30.7%) final visual acuity increased. In 7 patients (54%) LASER-induction of CHORIORETINAL ANASTOMOSIS was unsuccessful. In 2 patients (15.4%) nonischemic central RETINAL VEIN OCCLUSION progressed to ischemictype. In 4 patients (30.7%) final visual acuity decreased and in 5 patients (38.5%) final visual acuity did not change. One patients with active ANASTOMOSIS developed choroidal neovascularization and vitreous hemorrhageand final visual acuity decreased. In another patient final visual acuity decreased due to fibrosis and macular traction. Conclusion: Creation of CHORIORETINAL ANASTOMOSIS by Argon Blue and/or Nd: YAG LASERs is not always successful and may be associated with vision-threatening complication. Even with active and patent shunt formation, final visual acuity may not improve. Outcome of this type of surgery needs to be evaluated in a prospective study with larger sample size.
