Intravitreal Gas for Vitreomacular Adhesion

NCT02001701 · Status: WITHDRAWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL

Last updated 2016-02-02

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Vitreomacular adhesion causes symptoms of blurry vision, distortion, and double vision. It is due to an abnormal separation of the vitreous gel from the surface of the retina and macula. The current, gold-standard treatment for this condition involves surgery performed in the operating room that involves risk such as bleeding, infection, cataract, and retinal detachment. It has been previously shown that a less invasive intravitreal injection of a gas bubble performed in the office may also treat vitreomacular adhesion with less risk than surgery.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of an office-based injection of an intravitreal gas bubble as a treatment for symptomatic vitreomacular adhesion.

Conditions

  • Vitreomacular Adhesion

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Intravitreal Injection of sulfahexafluoride gas

After the appropriate sterile and anesthetic preparation of the surgical field, the investigator will administer a single intravitreal injection of 0.3 to 0.5 cc of sulfahexafluoride gas in the study eye. An anterior chamber paracentesis may be performed if necessary. Following the procedure, the optic nerve will be monitored for perfusion.
