Risk Factors for Endothelial Decompensation after Penetrating Keratoplasty and Its Novel Therapeutic Strategies.

Conclusions: Any direct or indirect damage to the endothelium could cause the loss, morphological changes, and dysfunction of endothelial cells. Graft size, indications, and recipient glaucoma or glaucoma surgery history are risk factors for endothelial decompensation. DSAEK and DMEK are novel therapeutic strategies for failed PKP grafts and have potential superiorities compared with repeat PKP. PMID: 30581601 [PubMed]
