Xenografts (sheep pericard) were placed into the suprachoroidal space in 44 patients with age-related macular degeneration. Patients were examined before and 6 months following the treatment. Direct revascularization of the chorioidea with the xenograft placed into the suprachorioidal space was effective at all stages of age-related macular degeneration improving visual functions and stabilizing the process. At the scar stage, the operation was a method of choice to treat these patients.

assessment of risk factors for the occurrence of ophthalmohypertension in a patient after the installation of an intravascular implant - a flow stent in the left internal carotid artery (ICA) in the projection of the aneurysm neck. Material and Methods: Patient A., 69 years old, with the development of bilateral ophthalmohypertension after the installation of an intravascular implant - a flow stent in the left ICA in the projection of the aneurysm neck. Results: Based on the examination of the patient and the study of all possible risk factors for the occurrence of ophthalmohypertension, confirmed by the data of modern literature, we can assume a multifactorial cause of bilateral ophthalmohypertension after the installation of an intravascular implant - a flow stent in the left internal carotid artery in the projection of the aneurysm neck. Conclusions: An interdisciplinary approach to the surgical treatment of an aneurysm of the supracune-shaped part of the internal carotid artery is important.
