RETINAL ARTERY OCCLUSION AFTER INTRAVASCULAR PROCEDURES: Case Series and Literature Review

Conclusion: Intravascular procedures might result in RAO because of embolic plaques dislodged from the carotid artery or heart, or new thrombi or embolic materials migrating through collateral channels. Branch retinal artery occlusion was more frequent than central retinal artery occlusion after intravascular procedures, which resulted in relatively good visual outcomes. Patients should be informed about immediate or delayed presentation of RAO after intravascular procedures.
