PURPOSE To evaluate the visual outcome of patients with subfoveal choroidal neovascularization due to age-related macular degeneration, who received photodynamic therapy (PTD) in a clinical setting and to identify potential predictive visual and angiographic factors. DESIGN Interventional case series. METHODS The study included 74 patients with subfoveal choroidal neovascularization who und...

Background and objectives: To study the abnormalities in the choroidal circulation in cases of central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) and to compare it with fundus fluorescein angiography. Setting and Design: Prospective, interventional and non comparative case series in a tertiary eye care institute. Material and Methods: 40 consecutive cases of CSC were included in the study. A complete clini...

Skin flap vascularity is a critical determinant of aesthetic results in autologous ear reconstruction. In this study, we investigate the use of intraoperative laser-assisted indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) as an adjunctive measure of skin flap vascularity in pediatric autologous ear reconstruction. Twenty-one consecutive pediatric patients undergoing first-stage autologous total ear recons...

BACKGROUND The present study investigates how often a simultaneous fluorescein and indocyanine green (ICG) angiography had therapeutic consequences and if it is useful as a clinical routine diagnostic tool. PATIENTS AND METHODS 502 consecutive simultaneous angiographies in eyes with exudative macular degeneration were retrospectively studied. RESULTS A classic extra- or juxtafoveolar choroi...

PURPOSE We characterize aqueous angiography as a real-time aqueous humor outflow imaging (AHO) modality in cow eyes with two tracers of different molecular characteristics. METHODS Cow enucleated eyes (n = 31) were obtained and perfused with balanced salt solution via a Lewicky AC maintainer through a 1-mm side-port. Fluorescein (2.5%) or indocyanine green (ICG; 0.4%) were introduced intracam...

BACKGROUND Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) is a condition that originates from alterations of the choroidal circulation. The aim of this paper was to evaluate the use of indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) in patients with chronic CSC. MATERIAL/METHODS The analysis included 17 patients (34 eyes) with chronic CSC in at least 1 eye. The eye examination included: distance and near visual...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study is to assess indocyanine green angiographic findings in patients with nonfamilial amyloidosis. METHODS The method used was a prospective study including seven patients (14 eyes) with nonfamilial amyloidosis. All patients underwent detailed ophthalmic clinical examination, fundus photography, and indocyanine green angiography (ICGA). Fluorescein angiography (F...

The most important goal of a vascular neurosurgeon during an intracranial aneurysm clipping is achieving complete exclusion of the aneurysm from the circulation with preservation of blood flow distal to the aneurysm. Occlusion of the parent vessel or distal branches due to improper clip application has been a significant factor in the poor outcome. Similarly, incomplete clipping of an aneurysm ...

PURPOSE To report the management of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) disease based on indocyanine green angiography (ICGA). METHODS VKH patients with acute episodes of inflammation (inaugural or recurrent) who had received standard ICGA-guided care were studied retrospectively. Standard of care included high dose systemic corticosteroids at presentation and close ICGA follow-up with addition of imm...
