OCT-A based management and treatment of RVO

Summary Correlations in retinal vein occlusion (RVO) patients between macular vascular densities in the superficial and deep capillary plexuses obtained using OCT-Angiography (OCTA) and the data from conventional examination (visual acuity and peripheral retinal non perfusion on fluorescein angiography) might reveal new insights in the pathogenesis of vascular damage. Through a retrospective, observational study of RVO patients with who underwent a comprehensive ophthalmic examination including FA and OCTA a significant correlation between automatically quantified macular vascular density on OCTA and peripheral non-perfusion on FA was demonstrated; OCTA could help in identifying high-risk RVO patients who may benefit from further evaluation using FA.
