增殖型糖尿病视网膜病变玻璃体切割手术后的视力及影响因素

作者分析增殖型糖尿病视网膜病变(proliferative diabetic retinopathy，PDR)合并严重玻璃体出血、黄斑部视网膜前出血、牵拉性视网膜脱离、牵拉性视网膜脱离并发孔源性视网膜脱离共81只眼进行玻璃体切割手术的结果。83.9%的患眼手术后视力获得不同程度的改善，PDR的严重程度对手术后视力有一定的影响，V期患者手术后出血率较高。虹膜红变的发生率与PDR的严重程度无关，但晶体切割眼的虹膜红变发生率高于有晶体眼。手术后视网膜脱离和出血不吸收均可导致虹膜红变的发生。 （中华眼底病杂志，1995，11：216-218）     

Results of vitrectomy for proliferative diabetic retinopathy

The authors treated 1007 eyes with vitrectomy for complications of proliferative diabetic retinopathy. Indications for surgery were: vitreous hemorrhage, 353 eyes (35%); traction retinal detachment, 360 eyes (36%); combined traction-rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, 172 eyes (17%); and other progressive fibrovascular proliferation 122 eyes (12%). During the study period, the frequency of vitreous hemorrhage as an indication for surgery decreased from 42 to 25%, and other progressive fibrovascular proliferation increased from 5 to 22%. The frequency of traction and traction/rhegmatogenous retinal detachments did not change. The results of surgery varied according to the indication. Seventy-nine percent of eyes with vitreous hemorrhage obtained final vision of 5/200 or better. Similar results were obtained in 64% of eyes with traction detachment, 56% of eyes with rhegmatogenous detachment, and 81% of eyes with progressive fibrovascular proliferation. The percentage of eyes achieving final vision of 20/100 or better are as follows: vitreous hemorrhage, 48%; traction detachment, 27%; rhegmatogenous detachment, 24%; and progressive fibrovascular proliferation, 46%. The success rate improved in each anatomic category during the last 3 years of the study.     

Management of proliferative diabetic retinopathy

Proliferative diabetic retinopathy is characterized by neovascularization originating from the retina and/or optic disk in patients with diabetes mellitus. The role of vascular endothelial growth factor appears to be central in the pathogenesis of proliferative diabetic retinopathy. Advanced glycation end products are important in the development of vitreous abnormalities in proliferative diabetic retinopathy. The majority of the neovascular membranes are adherent to the posterior vitreous cortex. When the posterior hyaloid exerts traction, the edges of the neovascular complex are pulled forward, resulting in vitreous hemorrhage. Tractional and/or rhegmatogenous retinal detachments can occur. The Diabetic Retinopathy Study demonstrated the ability of panretinal photocoagulation to reduce the rate of severe visual loss by 50% for eyes with high-risk characteristics, defined as neovascularization originating from the optic disk > 1/3 disk diameter, any neovascularization originating from the optic disk with hemorrhage, and neovascularization originating from the retina with vitreous hemorrhage. The Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study showed that patients with type II diabetes mellitus who were older than 40 with severe nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy (defined as hemorrhages in four quadrants, venous beading in two quadrants, or intraretinal microvascular abnormalities in one quadrant) also benefited from early panretinal photocoagulation. The Diabetic Retinopathy Vitrectomy Study showed that early vitrectomy (within 6 months of onset of vitreous hemorrhage) was associated with better results in type I diabetes mellitus patients only. The goals of vitreous surgery are to remove the vitreous, including the posterior hyaloid, and to relieve traction from fibrovascular tissue. Delamination and segmentation techniques have been used in the excision of fibrovascular growth on the internal limiting membrane and extending into the vitreous. Panretinal photocoagulation is an integral component of vitrectomy for proliferative diabetic retinopathy. Anti-vascular endothelial growth factor agents may be used in addition to laser as an adjunct to reduce the risk of neovascularization. Vitrectomy surgery may have intraoperative and postoperative complications, including cataract, anterior hyaloidal fibrovascular proliferation, fibrovascular ingrowth, retinal detachment, and recurrent vitreous hemorrhage. Visual potential depends on the preoperative and postoperative status of the macula, as well as on retinal perfusion and the health of the optic nerve. With the improvement in instruments, techniques, and drugs, the results of vitrectomy in proliferative diabetic retinopathy are improving.

Different outcome among eyes with proliferative diabetic retinopathy indicated for vitrectomy

PURPOSE: The postoperative outcome was evaluated in each group of surgical indications of vitreous surgery for proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR), to investigate the factors responsible for postoperative visual prognosis. METHODS: Primary vitrectomy was performed in 119 eyes of 92 patients with PDR. Average postoperative follow-up period was 19 months. The indications for vitrectomy included vitrous hemorrhage in 58 eyes, macular tractional retinal detachment in 17 eyes, extramacular tractional retinal detachment in 10 eyes, macular heterotopia in 11 eyes, and progressive fibrovascular proliferation in the posterior fundus in 23 eyes. RESULTS: The visual acuity finally improved by 2 lines or more in 91 eyes (77%), remained unchanged in 10 eyes (8 %), and decreased by 2 lines or more in 18 eyes (15%). Final postoperative visual acuity was significantly better in cases of vitreous hemorrhage or progressive fibrovascular proliferation in the posterior fundus than in others. Preoperative rubeosis iridis and macular tractional retinal detachment were probably responsible for the final visual impairment, and intraocular tamponade affected the difference in visual prognosis between the groups of surgical indication. Multivariate analysis in all cases revealed that factors influencing visual outcome were preoperative rubeosis iridis and anemia. CONCLUSION: Rubeosis iridis and macular tractional retinal detachment were prognostic factors of the surgery. Vitrectomy for PDR may be effective in improving postoperative visual acuity if performed in the early stage of progressive fibrovascular proliferation in the posterior fundus after sufficient retinal photocoagulation.     

Anterior hyaloidal fibrovascular proliferation after diabetic vitrectomy

Vitrectomy was performed to treat 74 consecutive eyes for complications of diabetic retinopathy. Eight (13%) of 61 eyes followed up for an average of 12 months developed anterior hyaloidal fibrovascular proliferation. This was the most common postoperative complication, whose features included recurrent hemorrhages into the vitreous cavity or anterior vitreous, or both; vessels or fibrovascular tissue on the posterior lens capsule; anterior extraretinal vascularization extending toward the lens on the anterior hyaloid; traction detachment of the peripheral retina or ciliary body; and hypotony. Patients who developed this complication tended to be young males with severe retinal neovascularization and extensive retinal ischemia; traction retinal detachment as an indication for surgery; placement of a scleral buckle; postoperative rubeosis iridis, recurrent vitreous hemorrhages, and retinal detachment; and multiple surgeries. Four eyes progressed to atrophia bulbi. Early recognition followed by additional surgery in two patients and extensive additional photocoagulation in two other patients was successful in preserving good visual function.

Pars plana vitrectomy and panretinal photocoagulation combined with trabeculectomy for successful treatment of neovascular glaucoma

Background Treatment of neovascular glaucoma (NVG) must be focused on the reduction of intraocular pressure (IOP) and prompt application of pan retinal photocoagulation (PRP). A combination of complete PRP during vitrectomy with trabeculectomy should theoretically be a better method to lower the IOP rapidly in eyes with NVG. The purpose of our study is to assess the efficacy of combining pars plana vitrectomy and PRP with trabeculectomy assisted by mitomycin C (MMC) on NVG eyes secondary to diabetic retinopathy.Methods Twenty-five eyes with NVG associated with diabetic retinopathy had pars plana vitrectomy, followed by PRP and trabeculectomy with MMC. The eyes were divided into two groups: nine eyes with vitreous hemorrhage, fibrovascular membrane and/or retinal detachment were placed in the Proliferation group; and 16 eyes without vitreous hemorrhage, fibrovascular membrane, or retinal detachment were placed in the PC (photocoagulation) group. These eyes had vitrectomy performed so that PRP could be safely performed from ora to ora. The surgical outcome in the two groups was assessed by Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. The criteria for success were a postoperative intraocular pressure (IOP) ≤21 mmHg and a preservation of light perception.Results In the Proliferation group, Kaplan-Meier life-table analysis showed that the success rate was 55.6% after 1 year and 18.5% after 2 years. The success rate in the PC group was 81.2% from 1 to 3 years after surgery. The surgical outcome was significantly better in the PC group than in the Proliferation group (P=0.009). In the Proliferation group, four eyes had preoperative vitreous hemorrhage, three eyes had a fibrovascular membrane, and two eyes had a retinal detachment. Three of four eyes with vitreous hemorrhage achieved good IOP control. On the other hand, the IOP of all eyes with retinal detachment and fibrovascular membrane were not lowered significantly.Conclusions Complete PRP combined with trabeculectomy with MMC can effectively reduce the elevated IOP in eyes with NVG. However, this combined treatment is not effective in eyes with proliferative membranes and retinal detachments.     

The effect of tissue plasminogen activator on premacular hemorrhage

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Early vitrectomy is recommended for eyes with premacular hemorrhage, which causes fibrovascular proliferation and macular traction. The purpose of this study was to investigate the therapeutic effects of tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) on premacular hemorrhage, and the clearing of hemorrhage from the macula. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The authors injected tPA (25-37.5 microg) into the vitreous cavity of 13 eyes with premacular hemorrhage. The causes of premacular hemorrhage were diabetic retinopathy in 11 eyes and traumatic injuries in 2 eyes. Prior to tPA injection, 4 eyes had complete posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) and 9 eyes had no PVD. RESULTS: After tPA injection, the hemorrhages in 10 eyes were completely absorbed. They were absorbed partially in 2 eyes and were not absorbed at all in 1 eye. Absorption of hemorrhage in the 4 eyes with complete PVD took an average of 5.5 days, and in the 6 eyes with no PVD, it took an average of 12.7 days (P=0.002). After tPA injection, visual acuity improved in 9 eyes, remained stable in 3 eyes, and worsened in 1 eye. In 5 eyes, pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) was required after tPA injection because of recurrent vitreous hemorrhage, macular traction or nonabsorbed premacular hemorrhage. CONCLUSION: TPA seems to be a good alternative method of treatment for premacular hemorrhage, especially in eyes with complete PVD. It appears to improve vision and defer the need for PPV.     

Proliferative diabetic retinopathy: vitreo-retinal complications are often related to insufficient retinal photocoagulation

INTRODUCTION: Panretinal photocoagulation proved to be effective in preventing complications related to vasoproliferative diabetic retinopathy. Surgery is most often a last resort in cases of recurrent or persistent vitreous hemorrhage or retinal detachment. The aim of our study is to point out that eyes requiring surgery for complications related to vasoproliferative diabetic retinopathy are often insufficiently photocoagulated. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Retrospective analysis of operating protocols and surgical results for a series of 39 eyes of 36 patients with complications of vasoproliferative diabetic retinopathy. RESULTS: The mean age at the intervention was 57 years. Eighty-five percent of the eyes had a vitreous hemorrhage, 17% a retinal detachment. Eighty-five percent of the eyes had undergone a partial retinal photocoagulation before surgery. All eyes underwent a vitrectomy with segmentation of fibrovascular membranes. In 85% of the eyes studied, endolaser photocoagulation was necessary, sometimes even in the mid-periphery. After 39+/-26 months of postoperative follow-up, 97% of eyes showed improvement of the anatomical state of the retina and improvement or stabilization of visual acuity. CONCLUSION: Our results confirm the benefit of vitreoretinal surgery in complications related to vasoproliferative diabetic retinopathy. Moreover, it should be emphasized that complications requiring surgery often result from incomplete preoperative photocoagulation. To be effective, photocoagulation has to destroy more than 35% and up to 50% of photoreceptors. An intraoperative laser extension can reduce the risk of regrowth of fibrovascular membranes.

Pars-plana-Vitrektomie bei diabetischer Retinopathie Vom pathogenetischen Prinzip zur operativen Strategie

Diabetic retinopathy is the most important manifestation of diabetic eye disease. There are retinopathy, maculopathy, pathology of the vitreoretinal interface, and tractional retinal detachment. The development of surgical approaches based on pathogenetic ideas are shown. The beneficial effect of pars plana vitrectomy for persisting and recurrent vitreous hemorrhage, epiretinal fibrovascular proliferation, and retinal detachment is discussed. The surgical skills and experiences in diabetic eyes are stressed.     

Clinical factors related to the aqueous levels of vascular endothelial growth factor and hepatocyte growth factor in proliferative diabetic retinopathy

PURPOSE: To investigate clinical factors related to the aqueous humor levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) in patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). METHODS: Undiluted aqueous humor was obtained during ocular surgery from 46 eyes of 46 patients and the levels of growth factors were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. VEGF and HGF levels were compared with the number of photocoagulation. VEGF and HGF levels in patient groups stratified according to the existence of vitreous hemorrhage, retinal detachment, and fibrovascular membrane were analyzed. And clinical parameters associated with the growth factors were determined by multiple regression analysis. RESULTS: The levels of VEGF decreased significantly as the extent of photocoagulation increased and showed significant positive correlation with the existence of vitreous hemorrhage. There was no significant correlation between VEGF levels and the existence of fibrovascular membrane and traction retinal detachment. The levels of HGF also decreased significantly as the extent of photocoagulation increased, but increased significantly when fibrovascular membrane existed. There were no significant correlations between HGF levels and the existence of vitreous hemorrhage and traction retinal detachment. Concerning systemic conditions, each growth factor has no significant correlation with duration and type of diabetes mellitus, the treatment regimen, the control of hemoglobin A1C, and the existence of hypertension or renal dysfunction. CONCLUSION: The therapeutic effect of panretinal photocoagulation on PDR might be partly exerted by reduction of the levels of VEGF and HGF in ocular fluid. Since the clinical parameters associated with VEGF were different from those associated with HGF, these growth factors might influence the progression of retinopathy in different ways.

Vitrectomy in retinal detachment caused by diabetic retinopathy

We reviewed the surgical results obtained in 23 eyes that underwent vitrectomy for diabetic traction retinal detachment. Retinal reattachment was obtained in 75% of eyes, however the functional results were modest, owing to retinal changes related to diabetic retinopathy and/or longstanding macular detachment. Ambulatory vision was obtained in 60% of eyes. 8 eyes (40%) had final visual acuity of 1/20 or better. Four preoperative clinical findings were associated with a poor prognosis = absence of scatter retinal photocoagulation, dense vitreous hemorrhage, iris neovascularization and preoperative visual acuity reduced to "light perception". Iatrogenic retinal breaks were also associated with a poor prognosis.     

A proposed new classification for diabetic retinopathy: the concept of primary and secondary vitreopathy

BACKGROUND: Many eyes with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) require vitreous surgery despite complete regression of new vessels with pan retinal laser photocoagulation (PRP). Changes in the vitreous caused by diabetes mellitus and diabetic retinopathy may continue to progress independent of laser regressed status of retinopathy. Diabetic vitreopathy can be an independent manifestation of the disease process. AIM: To examine this concept by studying the long-term behavior of the vitreous in cases of PDR regressed with PRP. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Seventy-four eyes with pure PDR (without clinically evident vitreous traction) showing fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) proven regression of new vessels following PRP were retrospectively studied out of a total of 1380 eyes photocoagulated between March 2001 and September 2006 for PDR of varying severity. Follow-up was available from one to four years. RESULTS: Twenty-three percent of eyes showing FFA-proven regression of new vessels with laser required to undergo surgery for indications produced by vitreous traction such as recurrent vitreous hemorrhage, tractional retinal detachment, secondary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment and tractional macular edema within one to four years. CONCLUSION: Vitreous changes continued to progress despite regression of PDR in many diabetics. We identifies this as "clinical diabetic vitreopathy" and propose an expanded classification for diabetic retinopathy to signify these changes and to redefine the indications for surgery.     

增生型糖尿病视网膜病变玻璃体切除手术后再出血病因及治疗

目的 分析增生型糖尿病视网膜病变(PDR)玻璃体切割手术后再出血病因，观察再治疗效果。 方法 回顾分析302例PDR患者315只患眼接受玻璃体切割手术治疗后32只眼再出血并再次治疗后随访3~48个月（平均随访时间12个月）的临床资料。 结果 PDR玻璃体切割手术后再出血发生率为10%，再出血发生时间为手术后1～210 d，平均时间为51 d。再出血的主要原因中，28%为巩膜切口纤维血管向内生长，19%为视盘表面残存新生血管膜或血管残端处理不当，22%为视网膜激光光凝不足，9%为视网膜表面新生血管膜剥除不彻底，6%为视网膜静脉阻塞，16%为外力作用。通过冷凝巩膜切口处纤维血管、剥离视盘和视网膜表面残存新生血管膜并电凝视盘表面血管残端、补充视网膜激光光凝、 包扎双眼等治疗，再出血眼视力提高者占91%，视力下降者占9%。再次手术后并发症主要包括再次出血、虹膜后粘连、晶状体混浊加重、角膜上皮愈合延迟等。 结论 PDR玻璃体切割手术治疗后再出血的主要原因是巩膜切口纤维血管向内生长、视盘表面和（或）视网膜表面新生血管膜剥除不彻底、血管残端处理不当、视网膜激光光凝不足和外力作用。处理好巩膜切口、彻底剥离视盘和视网膜表面新生血管膜、电凝血管残端以及足够的视网膜激光光凝是预防和治疗PDR玻璃体切割手术后再出血的有效方法。(中华眼底病杂志,2007,23:238-240) 
