EndoArt Under PKP

Show Description +

[No narration] An 80-year-old woman presented with a history of ankylosing spondylitis and multiple episodes of uveitis. She underwent cataract surgery in 1993 and developed complications of bullous keratopathy in 2004. A PKP was performed in 2005, and graft rejection occurred in 2013. Despite prolonged corneal edema, a DSAEK was performed in 2017. Again, the graft was rejected. Rather than subject the patient to further risk and potential complications of a repeat endothelial keratoplasty procedure, I decided to implant an EndoArt (EyeYon Medical) under a PKP.
