Ocular Vascular Thrombotic Events: Central Retinal Vein and Central Retinal Artery Occlusions

We prospectively assessed associations of thrombophilia- hypofibrinolysis with central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) (40 patients) and central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) (9 patients). We used polymerase chain reaction measures for thrombophilia (factor V Leiden, prothrombin, C677T MTHFR, platelet glycoprotein PlA1/A2) and hypofibrinolysis (plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 4G4G). Serologic thrombophilia measures included protein C, protein...
