Intracameral injection of tissue plasminogen activator to treat severe postoperative fibrinous reaction in iridocorneal endothelial syndrome.
Iridocorneal endothelial (ICE) syndrome is a primary endothelial abnormality that can cause a spectrum of iris changes, corneal edema, and glaucoma. Glaucoma secondary to ICE is difficult to manage because of the inflammatory reaction and fibrosis it can cause. We present a case of postoperative fibrinous reaction following endoscopic cyclophotocoagulation in ICE that caused aqueous tube shunt ...

Purpose. To report 7 cases of intraocular lens (IOL) opacification following treatment of postoperative anterior chamber fibrin with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rtPA) after cataract surgery. Methods. Retrospective case series of 7 eyes in 7 patients who developed IOL opacification after receiving rtPA for anterior chamber inflammatory membrane formation resulting from phacoemulsif...
متن کاملTissue plasminogen activator to treat impending pupillary block glaucoma in patients with acute fibrinous HLA-B27 positive iridocyclitis.
PURPOSE To report the use of intracameral tissue plasminogen activator to dissolve fibrinous membranes and break posterior synechiae in patients with acute HLA-B27-positive iridocyclitis with impending pupillary block. METHODS Two patients with severe acute fibrinous iridocyclitis and seclusio pupillae were identified. Because of the concern of impending pupillary block, intracameral tissue p...
متن کاملtissue plasminogen activator; identifying major barriers related to intravenous injection in ischemic acute cerebral infraction
background: in patients with acute ischemic cerebral infarction, thrombolytic therapy using intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (iv?tpa) necessitates precise documentation of symptoms’ onset. the aim of this study was to identify major barriers related to the iv?tpa injection in such patients. materials and methods: between 2014 and 2015, patients with definitive diagnosis of acute cerebra...
