AI Article Synopsis

  • Retinal vein occlusion (RVO) is a leading cause of vision loss, second only to diabetic retinopathy, prompting a review of treatment options for branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO).
  • A thorough literature search was conducted using specific medical terms to gather relevant research on various therapies associated with BRVO.
  • Numerous treatment options exist for managing BRVO and its related complications, including anti-VEGF therapies, corticosteroids, laser treatments, and surgical interventions like vitrectomy.

Article Abstract

Background: Retinal vein occlusion is the second most common retinal vascular disorder after diabetic retinopathy and is considered to be an important cause of visual loss. In this review, our purpose is to update the literature about the treatment alternatives for branch retinal vein occlusion.

Methods: Eligible papers were identified by a comprehensive literature search of PubMed, using the terms "branch retinal vein occlusion," "therapy," "intervention," "treatment," "vitrectomy," "sheathotomy," "laser," "anti-VEGF," "pegaptanib," "bevacizumab," "ranibizumab," "triamcinolone," "dexamethasone," "corticosteroids," "non-steroids," "diclofenac," "hemodilution," "fibrinolysis," "tPA," and "BRVO." Additional papers were also selected from reference lists of papers identified by the electronic database search.

Results: Treatment modalities were analyzed.

Conclusions: There are several treatment modalities for branch retinal vein occlusion and specifically for its complications, such as macular edema, vitreous hemorrhage, retinal neovascularization, and retinal detachment, including anti-aggregative therapy and fibrinolysis, isovolemic hemodilution, vitrectomy with or without sheathotomy, peripheral scatter and macular grid retinal laser therapy, non-steroid agents, intravitreal steroids, and intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factors (anti-VEGFs).
