Thrombolytic Treatment of Central Retinal Artery Occlusion(CRAO)
Stephanie L. Paolini and Cynthia L. Kenmuir
This review focuses on the literature available for the treatment of CRAO with thrombolysis including intra-arterial and intravenous approaches. Although CRAO is an ocular emergency that can lead to disabling blindness, no consensus treatment guidelines currently exist. Based on review of the current literature, further clinical trials are indicated to investigate the safety and efficacy of early thrombolytic therapy for CRAO.
