Endothelial Cell
Endothelial cell therapy may play role in cornea donation
Artificial endothelial layer reduces corneal edema, pain
A polymer film implant attached to the posterior corneal surface can treat corneal edema secondary to endothelial dysfunction and may be an alternative to endothelial keratoplasty.
IOTA study: One donor cornea may help treat ‘hundreds of patients’
LAS VEGAS — Instead of using one donor cornea for one patient, endothelial cell therapy may allow tissue from one donor to be used by as many as 100 patients, according to a study.
Grid FLACS reduces corneal endothelial cell count loss in dense cataracts
In patients with dense cataracts, a grid-based femtosecond laser helped reduce corneal endothelial cell count loss during phacoemulsification, according to a study published in the American Journal of Ophthalmology.
Xen gel stent with phaco has similar endothelial cell density loss as cataract surgery alone
Patients who underwent Xen gel stent implantation combined with phacoemulsification to treat primary or secondary open-angle glaucoma experienced a similar central endothelial cell density loss at 2 years as those who underwent stand-alone phacoemulsification, according to a study.
Understand risk factors to limit endothelial cell loss after glaucoma surgery
WASHINGTON — Traditional glaucoma surgery will result in endothelial cell loss, but surgeons can be aware of potential risk factors and take steps to help limit the amount of loss, a speaker said here.
Study looks at predictors of high endothelial cell loss after DMEK
MARRAKECH, Morocco — Several factors, including graft detachment and disease severity, may be predictors of a higher and faster rate of endothelial cell loss after Descemet’s membrane endothelial keratoplasty for Fuchs’ dystrophy, according to a study carried out at the Netherlands Institute for Innovative Ocular Surgery.
New discovery paves way to future improvements in Descemet’s graft implantation
PARIS — New discoveries in the field of lamellar keratoplasty illuminate why endothelial grafts scroll with the Descemet’s membrane inside and endothelial cells outside.
CorneaGen completes Series B financing
Two-year outcomes show strengths, weaknesses of quarter-DMEK
PARIS — Two years of follow-up with quarter-Descemet’s membrane endothelial keratoplasty show visual outcomes comparable to those of conventional DMEK surgery and no graft rejection or secondary failure, but the decrease in endothelial cell density calls for further enhancement of the technique, according to a speaker at a NIIOS presentation during EuCornea 2019.
