“…Similarly, Binder et al [60] reported that patients with nonischemic CRVO may respond more favorably than patients with ischemic CRVO after performing RON. Moreover, while improvements in visual acuity after RON have been confirmed by several other reports [61][62][63][64] , some studies found a resolution of macular edema that was not accompanied by an improvement in visual acuity in all eyes following RON [65,66] . On the other hand, some studies revealed that RON induce the development of retinochoroidal shunt vessels in 46.7-83.3% of patients and this may represent the mechanism of any beneficial effect this surgical procedure [67][68][69][70][71] .…”

Retinal vein occlusion (RVO) is the second most common vascular disease after diabetic retinopathy. Although its high frequency, mechanisms underlying RVO and optimal treatment strategies are still controversial. There are various treatment modalities for retinal vein occlusion including observation, systemic treatments, intravitreal agents, laser photocoagulation, fibrinolytic treatment and surgical approaches. Despite most of the treatment strategies are directed at secondary complications of RVO that affect vision including macular edema and retinal neovascularization, some treatment options also have the ability to create a bypass around the obstructed retinal vein and to decrease the raised venous hydrostatic pressure. The aim of this review is to describe the outcomes of fibrinolytic and surgical treatment modalities for RVO.

“…These authors thus proposed that eyes with ischaemic CRVO would not benefit from RON. Similarly, in a study by Patelli et al. (2004), including five eyes with CRVO, resolution of macular oedema occurred in all eyes after RON, but was not accompanied by an improvement in VA.…”

“…However, the CRVO study only included cases with |≥ 3 months duration, whereas the investigational case series included many cases with shorter duration of CRVO (Weizer et al. 2003; Patelli et al. 2004; Martinez‐Jardon 2005).…”

ABSTRACT.The treatment of central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) is still a subject of debate. Medical therapy efforts, as well as retinal laser photocoagulation, have mostly dealt with management of the sequelae of CRVO, and have shown limited success in improving visual acuity. The unsatisfactory results of such therapeutic efforts led to the development of new treatment strategies focused on the surgical treatment of the occluded retinal vein. The purpose of this review is to summarize the outcomes of commonly reported surgical treatment strategies and to review different opinions on the various surgical approaches to the treatment of CRVO.

Management of Retinal Vein Occlusion – Consensus Document

Retinal vein occlusion (RVO) can have severe consequences for the people affected by the disease, including visual loss with costly social repercussions. Currently, there is no European consensus with regard to the management of RVO. Following a careful review of the medical literature as well as the data from several clinical trials, a collaborative group of retina specialists put forth practical recommendations based on the best available scientific evidence for the clinical approach to RVO. Taking into consideration the recent advances in diagnostic tools and management options, the present document aims to provide the European ophthalmologists with guidelines for clinical practice to the benefit of their patients.

Optical coherence tomography evaluation of macular edema after radial optic neurotomy in patients affected by central retinal vein occlusion

Abstract: OCT demonstrated resolution of the macular edema in all the eyes. This resolution is not always accompanied with an improvement in VA. Further studies are needed to better understand the efficacy of this procedure.
