Macular Microcirculation after Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment Repair Evaluated by OCT-Angiography
In the process of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD), retinal homeostasis may be adversely affected with resultant modifications in retinal and choroidal tissue. Hypoxia and nutrient deprivation along with inflammation at the detached retina may lead to morphological and microvascularity alterations. These changes imply that the functional status of the macula may not be entirely restored despite anatomical repair.
A Simple Tool to Predict Transradial Access Failure for Coronary Angiography
Based on multiple large clinical trials, the transradial access (TRA) approach has been widely accepted as the preferred method of vascular access for coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention. However, it is not without its limitations and complications.
