IVB for Post-vitrectomy Hemorrhage in Diabetic Eyes

Summary

Recurrent vitreous hemorrhage following pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) for proliferative diabetic retinopathy remains a significant complication with reported incidence ranging from 11 to 75%. Early and late recurrences are associated with various factors, including residual blood, fibrovascular tissue, and neovascularization. Despite attempts to reduce this complication with therapies like anti-fibrinolytic agents, gas tamponade, and peripheral cryotherapy, the outcomes remain unsatisfactory.
