Article Synopsis
- The study assessed the safety and feasibility of using perfluorocarbon-perfused vitrectomy (PCPV) in patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) and rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD).
- Results showed no significant harm to endothelial cells or differences in electroretinography after surgery, with a high success rate in grading the procedures (77.8% for PDR and 90% for RRD achieving grade 5/5).
- PCPV improved visibility during surgery and provided benefits like quicker retinal reattachment and reduced blood in the vitreous cavity, suggesting it may be a better alternative to traditional balanced saline solutions.

Background And Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of a new method of delivering diode laser (810 nm) spots through an indirect ophthalmoscope in conjunction with intravenous indocyanine green to treat choroidal neovascularizations (CNVs) larger than 5,400 microm.
Patients And Methods: A prospective, non-comparative, interventional case series study was conducted with 8 patients with CNV secondary to age-related macular degeneration. Laser pulses were applied to the CNV within 5 minutes of an intravenous injection of 25 mg of indocyanine green.
