Graefes Arch Clin Exp Ophthalmol. 2008 Aug 6; Authors: Cousins SW, Bearelly S, Reinoso MA, Chi SL, Espinosa-Heidmann DG PURPOSE: Fibrotic choroidal neovascular membranes (CNV) are the end-stage outcomes of neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD). No Treatment is currently available for fibrotic CNV. We investigated the role of focal thermal Laser ablation of the perfusing afferent arteriole as determined by dynamic indocyanine green angiography (ICGA). METHODS: We conducted a retrospective study of 20 patients with fibrotic CNV associated with significant subretinal fluid or retinal edema, who also demonstrated well-defined perfusing arterioles by dynamic ICGA. Patients underwent focal thermal Laser occlusion of the perfusing afferent arteriole. Six, 12 and 24 weeks post-Treatment, eyes underwent repeat examination with optical coherence tomography (OCT) and visual acuity testing, and ICGA at 12 weeks. RESULTS: Therapeutic closure of the perfusing afferent arterioles was achieved in 17 of 20 eyes immediately post-Treatment. All 17 of these eyes demonstrated significant resolution of retinal edema and subretinal fluid, as evidenced by OCT, which was dramatic in some cases. Seven eyes demonstrated an improvement in visual acuity of 1 line or more. While most eyes demonstrated reperfusion within ...

Related Articles Effect of fluence on efficacy using the 1440 nm Laser with CAP technology for the Treatment of rhytids. Lasers Surg Med. 2008 Jul 22;40(6):387-389 Authors: Lloyd JR BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of fluence on the Treatment of rhytids using a 1440 nm Laser with CAP(SM) technology and the T350 tip. STUDY DESIGN/MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twelve subjects with rhytids were enrolled in an IRB approved study. The Affirmtrade mark Laser with CAP technology (Cynosure, Inc., Westford, MA) 1440 nm, 10 mm T350, 2 milliseconds, 1.5 Hz was used at fluences ranging from 3.0 to 5.5 J/cm(2) in a split face study. At each Treatment visit, fluences on the right side of the face were held constant at 3.0 J/cm(2), while the left side of the face started at 3.0 J/cm(2) and increased 0.5 J/cm(2) with each Treatment to a maximum of 5.5 J/cm(2). Five treatments were given at 2-week intervals using the SmartCooltrade mark (Cynosure, Inc.). Photographic comparisons at baseline and 3 months were used to compare fluence results as well as to evaluate for efficacy in the Treatment of rhytids. The following standard scale was employed: Poor (0-25%), Fair (26-50%), Good (51-75%), and Excellent (76-100%). In addition, following the study, a few subjects received a series of Laser pulses at increasing fluences on their buttocks to further evaluate the effect of fluence on tissue reaction. RESULTS: Compari ...
