Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
This case report aims to describe in detail the acute isolated cilioretinal artery occlusion (CLRAO) secondary to complicated therapeutic percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Case description
A 68-year-old Chinese man with coronary artery disease (CAD) complained of sudden, sharp chest pain. Coronary angiography revealed severe stenoses of the coronary arteries. The patient was then treated with PCI. One hour after the procedure, the patient presented with a sudden reduction in vision in the right eye. The patient was diagnosed with acute isolated CLRAO and treated with Salvia miltiorrhiza injections.
Conclusions
This is the report to provide a detailed description of acute isolated CLRAO secondary to therapeutic PCI treated with Salvia miltiorrhiza. The visual prognosis of the untreated patients is poor. Suitable management and prevention are essential for interventional cardiologists to prevent these complications.
