How was the post op result in this case? More effective than intravitreal steroids I imagine.

it is less likely to have bleeding if you are in normal thickness choroid . there is a learning curve how to thread the catheter safely through the suprachoroidal space . and the tip of the catheter is blunt olive tip to protect the choroid .
