Treatment of retinal arterial occlusion with local fibrinolysis using recombinant tissue plasminogen activator

Objective Retinal arterial occlusion is one of the most dramatic problems faced by ophthalmologists because of its sudden onset and the severe consequences it may have on the visual system. In this study, local intra-arterial fibrinolysis (LIF) using recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rTPA) as a new technique for the treatment of retinal arterial occlusion was investigated. Design Retrospective, noncomparative case series. Participants...
