Intravitreal r-tPA Injection and Pneumatic Displacement for Submacular Retinal Hemorrhage: A Case Series

We describe the results of very early pars plana vitrectomy, subretinal r-tPA, and gas tamponade in patients with subretinal macular hemorrhage secondary to neovascular age-related macular degeneration. The patients ended up with a favorable functional recovery. We conclude that very early treatment...

description We describe the results of very early pars plana vitrectomy, subretinal r-tPA, and gas tamponade in patients with subretinal macular hemorrhage secondary to neovascular age-related macular degeneration. The patients ended up with a favorable functional recovery. We conclude that very early treatment might lead to a good functional prognosis.
