E-145 variable ophthalmic hemodynamics in children with retinoblastoma undergoing intra-arterial chemotherapy
ConclusionIAC is a powerful new tool in the treatment of retinoblastoma, but relies on the technical ability to infuse chemotherapy into the OA. In cases when no antegrade OA flow is identified with carotid angiography, balloon occlusion distal to the OA may induce hemodynamic change allowing treatment via the carotid and OA.DisclosuresM.
