Abstract

Arteriovenous dissection (AVD) is a surgical maneuver to separate the retinal artery and vein at the crossing site in patients with branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO). The published studies showed an evidence level 3. AVD seems to be maintainable in patients with recent onset of BRVO and decimal visual acuity < or =0.4.
