Using OCT Angiography to Distinguish RVO and RAO
How can OCT angiography help retina specialists distinguish between retinal vein occlusion (RVO) and retinal artery occlusion (RAO) in patients who present without acute findings? Using real-world cases as a backdrop, Yasha Modi, MD, and Kat Talcott, MD, discuss Dr. Modi’s approach to distinguishing RVO and RAO via OCT angiography and review which specific OCT angiography findings may indicate referral to cardiology. Later in the episode, they explore the utility and limitations of OCT angiography in patients with diabetic retinopathy.
