Titel | Robot assisted retinal vein cannulation for central retinal vein occlusion. |
Abstract Nr. | 2079 |
Doel | To evaluate the feasibility and safety of robot assisted retinal vein cannulation for central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO). |
Methodes | Phase I study including patients with recent CRVO for vitrectomy with robot assisted retinal vein cannulation and intravessel infusion of ocriplasmin. Primary outcome is the occurrence of any serious adverse event (SAE) related to the cannulation or any possible technical failure. Secondary outcomes are change in visual acuity (VA), central macular thickness (CMT) and retinal circulation time measured with fluo-angiography. |
Resultaten | Retinal vein cannulation was successful in all 4 included eyes with an average duration of infusion of 5min55sec (±204sec). There were no SAEs except for one breakage of the needle tip intraoperatively. The broken part could be removed with endoforceps without causing clinical significant damage. On average, CMT decreased 584µm (±488µm) comparing pre- with two weeks postoperative. VA remained counting fingers (CF) in two eyes, decreased from LogMAR 0.4 to 1.3 in one eye and increased from CF to LogMAR 0.9 in the remaining eye. |
Conclusie | Robot assisted retinal vein cannulation is technically feasible and safe. Further research is needed to optimize case selection and functional outcome. |
