- Conditions
- branch retinal vein occlusion
- Registration Number
- JPRN-UMIN000031766
- Lead Sponsor
- Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Science, Nagoya City University Graduate School of Medical Sciences
- Brief Summary
Microaneurysms formed in collateral vessels caused persistent macular edema. Retinal laser photocoagulation targeting the microaneurysms in collateral vessels was effective to reduce macular edema and additional treatments in patients with BRVO.
