COMPARISON OF PNEUMATIC DISPLACEMENT FOR SUBMACULAR HEMORRHAGES WITH GAS ALONE AND GAS PLUS TISSUE PLASMINOGEN ACTIVATOR

In Brief Purpose: To retrospectively evaluate efficacy, safety, and visual outcomes of pneumatic displacement for submacular hemorrhages (SMHs) with or without tissue plasminogen activator (tPA). Methods: Sixty-eight eyes with fresh SMHs underwent pneumatic displacement. Thirty eyes received intravitreal injection of pure C3F8 gas alone and 38 eyes received gas with tPA (25 μg). The visual analog scale was used to evaluate displacement. The main...
