OBJECTIVE
To determine if hypoxia tolerance in patients with retinal vein occlusion (RVO) following exposure to transient hypoxia is different from the hypoxia tolerance of healthy patients without retinal vein occlusion.
METHODS
Consecutive patients presenting with RVO following exposure to
To demonstrate the utility of a novel in vivo molecular imaging probe, HYPOX-4, to detect and image retinal hypoxia in real time, in a mouse model of retinal vein occlusion (RVO).
Retinal vein occlusion was achieved in adult mice by photodynamic retinal vein thrombosis (PRVT). One or two major
Vitrectomy has been shown to halt diabetic retinal neovascularization, but the mechanism of this process is unknown. We propose that vitrectomy improves the oxygen supply to ischemic inner retina by way of fluid currents in the vitreous cavity. In order to test this hypothesis, we induced branch
In miniature pigs, retinal veins were experimentally occluded using argon laser coagulation. Microvascular modifications leading to retinal hemorrhages and retinal edema were observed some hours after the occlusion. These lesions resolved progressively within 3 weeks after the occlusion, but in most
Although there have been few direct observations, the etiology of spontaneous hyphema in patients with retinal or ocular hypoxia is assumed to be hemorrhage from a neovascular iris vessel. This paper reports observed hemorrhage from such a rubeotic iris in a patient with central retinal vein
BACKGROUND
Macular edema is the main reason for decreased visual acuity (VA) in early retinal vein occlusion (RVO). Bevacizumab (Avastin, Genentech) is an anti-VEGF substance to treat macular edema triggered by hypoxia-induced expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Initial reports
To identify the affected retinal layer in cases of branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO), we analyzed the scotopic electroretinogram (ERG) and electrooculogram (EOG) obtained on the same day in 30 patients with unilateral BRVO. Patients with eye diseases other than unilateral BRVO were excluded. A
OBJECTIVE
Retinopathy in cyanotic heart disease arises due to hypoxia and polycythaemia. We report the development of central retinal vein occlusion, and two arteriolar macroaneurysms in a normotensive patient with polycythaemia secondary to complete pulmonary atresia.
METHODS
A 44-year-old woman
OBJECTIVE
To report a case of bilateral central retinal vein occlusion in a patient with Eisenmenger syndrome.
METHODS
Case report. A 60-year-old woman with Eisenmenger syndrome secondary to a congenital ventricular septal defect presented with a 2-week history of decreased vision in both
Central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) remains an important cause of visual loss. Impaired venous drainage leads to retinal hypoxia with upregulation and release of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). VEGF increases vascular permeability and leads to the breakdown of the blood-retinal barrier,
OBJECTIVE
To study the effect of dorzolamide on the preretinal oxygen tension (RPO(2)) in retinal areas affected by experimental branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) in pigs.
METHODS
Experimental BRVO was induced by diathermy close to the optic disc. RPO(2) was measured with an oxygen-sensitive
Kaatsu training is an exercise method involving the application of pressure to the target muscle, and is being increasingly used in rehabilitation programs for heart disease patients in some hospitals. This method restricts blood flow to the muscles during exercise, and the resultant hypoxia
Experimental retinal branch vein occlusion using argon laser photocoagulation in miniature pigs induced the development of ischemic retinal territories associated with preretinal neovascularization. Preretinal partial pressure of oxygen (PO2) measurements on the ischemic territories, using
Hypoxia-induced retinal edema primarily induced by vascular lesion is seen in various conditions such as diabetic retinopathy (DR) and retinal vein occlusion (RVO). The edematous changes in these conditions occur mainly in intermediate and deep layers of retina as a result of disruption of the inner
OBJECTIVE
To estimate the presence and variability of retinal hypoxia in patients with central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO).
METHODS
Hemoglobin oxygen saturation was measured in retinal vessels of both eyes in 14 patients with unilateral CRVO. The noninvasive spectrophotometric retinal oximeter is
