Age-Related Macular Degeneration
Conditions
Keywords
organized blood clot, fragmatome, exudative age related macular denegeration
Brief summary
By using the ultrasound power delivered by fragmatome, the hard, organized blood clot could be removed easily.
Interventions
PROCEDUREfragmatome
Patients with massive subretinal hemorrhage from age related macular degeneration and organized subretinal blood clot were managed by inferior retinectomy. The subretinal organized blood clot was dragged to the preretinal space and removed by fragmatome. The retinal was reattached with perfluorocarbon liquid and laser was applied at the margin of retinectomy. Silicon oil was infused at the end of surgery.
