“…39 Other authors argue against the feasibility and efficiency of the technique. 26 In videos shown, a critical issue is whether the observed bleaching is because of microinjection inside the occluded retinal vein or around it. Based on our observations, we propose a definition of successful endovascular microinjection as a continuous endovascular flow, an unaffected circulation in collateral veins and in neighboring arterioles, absence of optic disk ischemia, and absence of venous wall bleeding.…”

“…Visual improvement was observed in 54% of 28 eyes with CRVO, by using this technique. In another study, a disappointing visual outcome and high complication rates have been observed after performing this surgical technique [148]. …”

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.

“…The difficulty in this procedure is that the surgeon has to insert a micropipette tip of diameter 20-50 μm into a vessel of diameter 50-150 μm and then maintain the position for 1-2 min until the drug release is completed. Some complications associated with the procedure have been reported [19], and this is probably because high skill is required to perform such a difficult task [20]. We hope that our robotic system will be helpful in enhancing the accuracy and precision of tool maneuvering, leading to better clinical outcomes.…”
