Anticoagulant and Antiplatelet Use in Cataract Surgery and Combined with Posterior Vitrectomy
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Patients receiving long-term anticoagulant and antiplatelet medications pose a clinical challenge when therapy needs intraocular surgery, including cataract surgery and vitrectomy [1-3]. Maintaining antiplatelet and anticoagulation places them at risk for serious bleeding complications, whereas discontinuing these medications puts them at risk of thromboembolic complications [4-6]. Currently, there is little consensus on the appropriate perioperative treatment of patients on long-term acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) and warfarin therapy [7-9]. In this study, we compared the incidence of hemorrhagic and nonhemorrhagic complications and visual course of phacoemulsification alone and combined phacoemulisification and vitrectomy between patients who maintained or discontinued anticoagulant and/or antiplatelet medications.

متن کاملASCRS white paper. Hydrophobic acrylic intraocular lenses in children.
After Sir Harold Ridley’s invention of the intraocular lens (IOL) in 1949, Dr. Edward Epstein implanted an IOL in a 12-year-old aphakic child in 1952. However, implantation in pediatric eyes was slow to catch on as many early attempts at IOL implantation in children resulted in complications. These results have been attributed to a lack of awareness of the need for primary posterior capsulectom...
