VISUALIZATION FROM INTRAOPERATIVE SWEPT-SOURCE MICROSCOPE-INTEGRATED OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY IN VITRECTOMY FOR COMPLICATIONS OF PROLIFERATIVE DIABETIC RETINOPATHY.

ABSTRACT: PURPOSE:To evaluate the use of live volumetric (4D) intraoperative swept-source microscope-integrated optical coherence tomography in vitrectomy for proliferative diabetic retinopathy complications. METHODS:In this prospective study, we analyzed a subgroup of patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy complications who required vitrectomy and who were imaged by the research swept-source microscope-integrated optical coherence tomography system. In near real time, images were displayed in stereo heads-up display facilitating intraoperative surgeon feedback. Postoperative review included scoring image quality, identifying different diabetic retinopathy-associated pathologies and reviewing the intraoperatively documented surgeon feedback. RESULTS:Twenty eyes were included. Indications for vitrectomy were tractional retinal detachment (16 eyes), combined tractional-rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (2 eyes), and vitreous hemorrhage (2 eyes). Useful, good-quality 2D (B-scans) and 4D images were obtained in 16/20 eyes (80%). In these eyes, multiple diabetic retinopathy complications could be imaged. Swept-source microscope-integrated optical coherence tomography provided surgical guidance, e.g., in identifying dissection planes under fibrovascular membranes, and in determining residual membranes and traction that would benefit from additional peeling. In 4/20 eyes (20%), acceptable images were captured, but they were not useful due to high tractional retinal detachment elevation which was challenging for imaging. CONCLUSION:Swept-source microscope-integrated optical coherence tomography can provide important guidance during surgery for proliferative diabetic retinopathy complications through intraoperative identification of different complications and facilitation of intraoperative decision making.

Project description:Background and Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate choroidal structure and vascularity indices in patients with non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR). Materials and Methods: Sixty-three eyes from sixty-three patients were evaluated: 21 from healthy subjects, 20 with diabetes mellitus (DM) and no diabetic retinopathy (DR), and 22 with DM and non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy without diabetic macular edema (DME). Each patient underwent ocular examination, macular swept-source ocular coherence tomography (SS-OCT) imaging, glycemic control, and systemic high blood pressure (HBP) evaluation. Subfoveal choroidal thickness (SF-CT) was manually assessed on a line scan. Line scan OCT images were exported to ImageJ program. The areas under a 1.5, 3 and 6 mm horizontal line centered on the fovea were assessed by converting the OCT images to binary images, and total choroidal area (TCA), luminal area (LA), stromal area (SA), LA:SA ratio, and choroidal vascularity index (CVI) were evaluated. SF-CT and choroidal parameters were compared between groups, and correlations with ocular and systemic factors were analyzed. Results: SF-CT, TCA, LA, and SA were similar between groups. CVIs were significantly different between groups for all three studied areas (CVI-1.5: 66.21% vs. 66.06% vs. 63.74%, p = 0.003; CVI-3: 65.88% vs. 66.46% vs. 63.79%, p = 0.008; CVI-6: 64.79% vs. 65.40% vs. 63.61%, p = 0.032). NPDR patients had significantly lower CVIs compared to DM patients (p < 0.05). No association of choroidal parameters with glycemic control, DM duration and HBP was found significant (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Choroidal assessment by SS-OCT and image binarization in healthy subjects, subjects with DM without DR, and subjects with DM and NPDR indicated that CVI changes were identifiable and significant in early DR. The lack of association with ocular and systemic factors suggest that CVIs are reliable assessment parameters of choroidal vascular structure.

Project description:IntroductionTo compare the efficacy and safety of intravitreal injections of ranibizumab (IVR) before and at the end of vitrectomy in proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) patients.MethodsA prospective comparative study was performed on 60 eyes of 52 PDR patients who received ranibizumab injection (0.5 mg/0.05 ml) 3-5 days before vitrectomy (preoperative group) and 55 eyes of 50 PDR patients who received ranibizumab injection (0.5 mg/0.05 ml) at the end of vitrectomy (intraoperative group). Intra- and postoperative indices were collected for further comparison.ResultsPostoperative best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) in preoperative group was better than in intraoperative group at 1 week after surgery (P < 0.05) but comparable at 1- and 3-month follow-up (P = 0.20 and P = 0.37, respectively). Central retinal thickness (CRT) in preoperative group was lower than in intraoperative group at 1 week postoperatively (P < 0.05), but comparable at 1- and 3-month follow-up (P = 0.39 and P = 0.77, respectively). The average surgery time was significantly shorter in preoperative group than in intraoperative group (61.50 ± 11.44 min vs. 74.49 ± 12.01 min, P < 0.01). The incidence of intraoperative bleeding was significant lower in preoperative group than in intraoperative group (21.7% vs. 40.0%, P < 0.05). Moreover, the incidence of intraocular electrocoagulation use, iatrogenic retinal breaks, relaxing retinotomy and silicone oil tamponade were all significantly lower in preoperative group than that in intraoperative group (P < 0.05, respectively). The incidences of postoperative vitreous hemorrhage (VH), neovascular glaucoma (NVG), recurrent retinal detachment, postoperative fibrovascular proliferation progression and reoperation showed no statistical differences between the two groups (P > 0.05, respectively). Both groups had no ocular or system adverse events during observation period.ConclusionIn vitrectomy for PDR, preoperative IVR can significantly reduce surgery time and lower the incidence of intraoperative bleeding, intraocular electrocoagulation use, iatrogenic retinal breaks, relaxing retinotomy and silicone oil tamponade during surgery and gain short-term better postoperative BCVA and thinner CRT.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov (identifier, NCT05408416).

Project description:BackgroundDiabetic retinopathy is a leading cause of visual loss in the working population. Pars plana vitrectomy has become the mainstream treatment option for severe proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) associated with significant vitreous haemorrhage and/or tractional retinal detachment. Despite the advances in surgical equipment, diabetic vitrectomy remains a challenging operation, requiring advanced microsurgical skills, especially in the presence of tractional retinal detachment. Preoperative intravitreal bevacizumab has been widely employed as an adjuvant to ease surgical difficulty and improve postoperative prognosis.Aims: This study aims to assess the effectiveness of preoperative intravitreal bevacizumab in reducing intraoperative complications and improving postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing vitrectomy for the complications of PDR.MethodsA literature search was conducted using the PubMed, Cochrane, and ClinicalTrials.gov databases to identify all related studies published before 31/10/2020. Prespecified outcome measures were operation time, intraoperative iatrogenic retinal breaks, best-corrected visual acuity in the last follow-up visit, the presence of any postoperative vitreous haemorrhage and the need to re-operate. Evidence synthesis was performed using Fixed or Random Effects models, depending on the heterogeneity of the included studies. Heterogeneity was assessed using Q-statistic and I2. Additional meta-regression models, subgroup analyses and sensitivity analyses were performed as appropriate.ResultsThirteen randomized control trials, with a total of 688 eyes were included in this review. Comparison of the intraoperative data showed that bevacizumab reduced operation time (p < 0.001), minimized iatrogenic retinal breaks (p < 0.001), provided better long-term visual acuity outcomes (p = 0.005), and prevented vitreous haemorrhage (p < 0.001) and the need for reoperation (p = 0.001 < 0.05). Findings were strongly corroborated by additional sensitivity and subgroup analyses.ConclusionPreoperative administration of bevacizumab is effective in reducing intraoperative complications and improving the postoperative prognosis of diabetic vitrectomy.PROSPERO registration number: CRD42021219280.
