Purpose: To evaluate the individualized, optical coherence tomography-guided facedown posturing after macular hole (MH) surgery in minimizing the burden and maximizing outcome.
Methods: A retrospective comparative study. One hundred and seven consecutive eyes with an MH (<500 μm) received vitrectomy and gas tamponade. After surgery, optical coherence tomography examination was performed from 6 hours to postoperative Day 2. In Group A, with a pro re nata posturing protocol, the duration of facedown posturing was determined from the optical coherence tomography findings. Group A was subdivided as follows: Group A1, facedown posturing required postoperatively and Group A2, no posturing required. When MH closure was confirmed, facedown posturing (if any) was discontinued. If the MH did not close, additional posturing was advised. Group B was the control group, consisted of 42 consecutive eyes with traditional 7 days of posturing.
Results: After a single surgery, Group A had the MH closure rate of 96.2%, 95.8% in Group A1 and 97.1% in Group A2, whereas Group B had the MH closure rate of 95.2%. The average posturing period was 42 hours for Group A, 57 hours for Group A1 and 10 hours for Group A2 (P < 0.001). The MH size was correlated significantly with the closure time (R = 0.47, P = 0.005, Spearman correlation coefficient).
Conclusion: A pro re nata posturing protocol achieves a high MH closure rate with a significant reduction of posturing time especially for pseudophakic eyes.

We describe retrospectively the indications and outcomes of nine patients who present with varying degrees of deep posterior stromal scarring or endothelial failure following deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK). These patients underwent a surgical strategy coined Intraoperative Optical Coherence Tomography Guided Femtosecond Laser-Assisted Descemet Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty (iFAD). This strategy can be used to address suboptimal visual outcomes following primary DALK.

Background: Despite the administration of timely reperfusion treatment, patients with acute myocardial infarction have a high mortality rate and poor prognosis. The potential impact of intraluminal imaging guidance, such as optical coherence tomography (OCT), on improving patient outcomes has yet to be conclusively studied. Therefore, we conducted a retrospective cohort study to compare OCT-guided primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) versus angiography-guided for patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).

Background: Recently developed artificial intelligence-based coronary angiography (AI-QCA, fully automated) provides real-time, objective, and reproducible quantitative analysis of coronary angiography without requiring additional time or labor.
Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of AI-QCA-assisted percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) compared to optical coherence tomography (OCT)-guided PCI in terms of post-PCI results.
Methods: This trial enrolled 400 patients with significant coronary artery disease undergoing PCI from 13 participating centers in South Korea.

Recanalized coronary thrombus is a rare and under-recognized condition in interventional practice, however its incidence is steadily increasing with the use of endo-coronary imaging. It has been initially described by pathological studies in approximately one-third of chronic coronary occlusions. It is described as a chronic occlusion that constitutes several endothelium-covered channels separated by septa that converge into a single lumen.
