INTRAVITREAL VERSUS SUBRETINAL ADMINISTRATION OF RECOMBINANT TISSUE PLASMINOGEN ACTIVATOR COMBINED WITH GAS FOR ACUTE SUBMACULAR HEMORRHAGES DUE TO AGE-RELATED MACULAR DEGENERATION

Abstract

Both treatment modalities effectively displaced SMH in this exploratory clinical trial. To more definitely study the noninferiority of intravitreal rtPA with gas to subretinal rtPA, vitrectomy with gas, a larger clinical trial would be necessary.
