Optical coherence tomography angiography for evaluation of reperfusion following pterygium surgery
American Journal of Ophthalmology Apr 10, 2019
Liu YC, et al. - Via this prospective, interventional case series of 10 patients undergoing pterygium excision and femtosecond laser-assisted conjunctival autograft (CAG) transplantation, researchers sought to delineate the utility of optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) to quantitatively monitor the conjunctival graft revascularization after the procedures. They identified that the vascularization or revascularization of conjunctiva, conjunctival graft and episclera could be evaluated with OCTA, in a quantitative and serial manner and hence OCTA seems a promising tool that may assist in diseases diagnosis and treatment monitoring. They identified that postoperative graft deswelling can be predicted with the graft revascularization rate.
