THE ROLE OF RECOMBINANT LYSINE-PLASMINOGEN AND RECOMBINANT UROKINASE AND SULFUR HEXAFLUORIDE COMBINATION IN INDUCING POSTERIOR VITREOUS DETACHMENT

Abstract

Plasmin was effectively generated in the vitreous after separate intravitreal administrations of recombinant lysine-plasminogen and recombinant urokinase. When combined with intravitreal gas injection, this method of plasmin production induced complete posterior vitreous detachment in 75% of the eyes.
