Description
Summary:Purpose: to assess the structure of the avascular zone and Vessel Density Retina in fovea using optical coherence tomography with angiography (OCT-angiography) after surgical treatment of macular hole, (MН) with platelet-rich plasma (PRP). Patients and methods. We examined and operated 32 patients (32 eyes) with macular hole. During surgery, after posterior hyaloid and internal limiting membrane (ILM) removing the platelet–rich plazma was appliqué on the region of the hole. Оphthalmologic diagnosis and OCT angiography were performed before and in 1 and 3 months after surgery, evaluate the area of the avascular zone and Vessel Density Retina in fovea. We compared this information with a healthy eye. Results and discussion. Аll patients had significantly visual acuity increasement. Anatomical closure was confirmed in all cases. Аfter surgery, we note a decreasement in the size of the avascular zone and increasement of the Vessel Density Retina in fovea. Conclusions. OCT angiography allows to evaluate the decreasement in the size of avascular areas and increasement of the Vessel Density Retina in fovea in postoperative period.
