Surgical removal of a branch retinal artery embolus: a case report
Int Ophthalmol.
1990 Jul.
Abstract
A patient with embolic retinal artery occlusion of sixty-hour duration underwent a surgical procedure resulting in the removal of one embolus and the fragmentation with distal flow of a second. Visual acuity improved from counting fingers to 20/200 and was stable 3 months postoperatively.
