  • Title: Nd:YAG laser photodisruption of the vitreous traction in avulsed retinal vessel syndrome.
    Author: Tatsui T, Ohara K, Shimizu H.
    Journal: Ophthalmic Surg; 1990 Jun; 21(6):423-7. PubMed ID: 2381678.
    Abstract:
    We applied Nd:YAG laser photodisruption to vitreous traction in three patients with avulsed retinal vessel syndrome. In every case the vitreous traction on the avulsed vessels was relieved and the vessel that had been avulsed in the vitreous cavity returned to the retinal surface postoperatively. There were no serious intraoperative and postoperative complications, nor was there any evidence of recurrence of vitreous hemorrhage after the treatment.
