Journal ArticleDOI
Scleral Buckling versus Primary Vitrectomy in Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment: A Prospective Randomized Multicenter Clinical Study
Heinrich Heimann,Karl Ulrich Bartz-Schmidt,Norbert Bornfeld,Claudia Weiss,Ralf-Dieter Hilgers,Michael H. Foerster +5 more
TL;DR: The study shows a benefit of SB in phakic eyes with respect to BCVA improvement, and based on a better anatomical outcome, recommends PPV in these patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Primary vitrectomy for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment: an analysis of 512 cases.
Heinrich Heimann,Xiulan Zou,C. Jandeck,Ulrich Kellner,Nikolaos E. Bechrakis,Klaus-Martin Kreusel,Horst Helbig,Lothar Krause,Andreas Schüler,Norbert Bornfeld,Michael H. Foerster +10 more
TL;DR: The risk factors for postoperative failures following PPPV for RRD match to a large extent those following scleral buckling surgery (SBS).
Journal ArticleDOI
A free retinal pigment epithelium-choroid graft in patients with exudative age-related macular degeneration: results up to 7 years.
Elsbeth J. T. van Zeeburg,Kristel Johanna Maria Maaijwee,Tom Missotten,Heinrich Heimann,Jan C. van Meurs +4 more
TL;DR: RPE-choroid graft transplantation may maintain macular function for up to 7 years after surgery, with relatively low complication and recurrence rates and this surgery may be an alternative for patients with AMD who cannot undergo other standard treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Heavy tamponade 1: a review of indications, use, and complications
TL;DR: The complication spectrum of the new generation of heavy silicone oils seems to be comparable to conventional silicone oil tamponades while providing better support for the inferior retina and the posterior pole.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polypoidal Choroidal Vasculopathy Masquerading as Neovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration Refractory to Ranibizumab
Alexandros N. Stangos,Jagdeep Singh Gandhi,Jayashree Nair-Sahni,Heinrich Heimann,Constantin J. Pournaras,Simon P. Harding,Simon P. Harding +6 more
TL;DR: Neovascular age-related macular degeneration refractory to a course of ranibizumab injections may harbor polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy, and indocyanine green angiography is a valuable tool for revealingpolypoidal lesions.
