Intracameral Fibrinous Reaction During Descemet's Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty
Ocular immunology and inflammation(2023)
摘要
PurposeTo determine the outcomes and predisposing factors of Descemet's membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) complicated by intraoperative fibrinous reaction.MethodsRetrospective cohort study of 346 DMEKs. Medical charts were reviewed for recipient demographics, surgical indications, donor characteristics, and potential predisposing ocular and systemic factors. For DMEKs complicated by fibrin, surgeons' notes on events leading to fibrin formation and on its intraoperative management, occurrence of graft detachment, primary failure, re-bubbling or regrafting, time to graft clearing, and endothelial cell density were additionally collected.ResultsFifteen (4.3%) DMEKs were complicated by fibrin, which interfered with and protracted graft unfolding in all cases. Median surgical time was longer than for uncomplicated DMEKs (p = 0.001). Graft positioning at the end of surgery was suboptimal in seven eyes (47%) and failed in three (20%). Re-bubbling, primary failure, and regraft rates were of 40%, 33% and 53%, respectively. The corneas that cleared did so in three to eight weeks, with median endothelial cell loss of 53% at 12 months. Use of anticoagulants was a preoperative risk factor (p = 0.01). Surgeon-identified intraoperative factors included beginner surgeons (87%), prolonged AC shallowing (47%) and graft manipulations (33%), intraocular bleeding (27%), new injector (20%), tight donor scroll (13%), and floppy iris (13%).ConclusionFibrinous reaction is a rare intraoperative complication of DMEK that interferes with graft unfolding and results in poor outcomes. Anticoagulant use appears to be a risk factor and may be compounded by surgical trauma to vascular tissues and prolonged surgical maneuvers.
