Vortex vein occlusion in atrophic AMD
Purpose: The efficacy of two vortex vein occlusion in treating age-related macula degeneration was studied.
Methods: fourteen eyes with intermediate and advanced form of age-related macular degeneration were treated with the
occlusion of the inferior vortex veins and studied with preoperative and postoperative BCVA, tonometry, visual field, contrast
sensitivity, fluorescein angiography, ICG, OCT and echoDoppler of the ophthalmic artery
Results: At three months we had near BCVA improvement from 11J to 9.4J (statistically significant), reduction of intraocular
pressure (0,5mmHg), in all cases,a modification of the ICG vascular staining and distribution, two peripheral inferior
haemorrhagic choroidal detachments (they completely reabsorbed within 3 months)
Conclusion: At threemonths the procedure didn’t showworsening of functional parameters and neither long termcomplications.
We need a longer follow up and looking forward to see the results at 6 months and 1 year and 2 years of the procedure.
