Adventitial sheathotomy for treatment of macular edema associated with branch retinal vein occlusion.
Laser therapy has been shown to be of benefit in eyes with branch retinal vein obstruction. More recently, pars plana vitrectomy with adventitial sheathotomy has also been shown to be of benefit, particularly for those eyes with branch retinal vein obstruction and poorer vision. The technique and results of this new therapeutic modality are discussed herein.
