MANAGEMENT OF MACULAR EDEMA IN BRANCH RETINAL VEIN OCCLUSION WITH SHEATHOTOMY AND RECOMBINANT TISSUE PLASMINOGEN ACTIVATOR

The common adventitial sheath that surrounds the retinal venule and arteriole at the crossing site plays a crucial role in branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO). The purpose of this study was to report the surgical recanalization of the occluded vein using a bimanual technique and recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) and its effect on final visual acuity.Arteriovenous sheathotomy was performed, using a bimanual technique, followed by...
