PURPOSE: To report use of intraoperative optical coherence tomography (OCT) for nanothin Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) in a patient with an extremely thickened cornea due to advanced bullous keratopathy.
OBSERVATIONS: A 90-year-old woman with a history of multiple trabeculectomies was referred to us for treatment of advanced bullous keratopathy (1400 μm central corneal thickness). Nanothin DSAEK was planned and performed. In brief, after the removal of the loose corneal epithelium, the anterior chamber was meticulously observed using a surgical microscope and oblique light via an endoillumination probe; however, the visibility of the anterior chamber was limited because of severe corneal edema. Subsequently, a nanothin (47 μm) DSAEK graft stained with trypan blue was inserted into the anterior chamber using an NS endoinserter. Intraoperative OCT was used successfully to visualize the graft unfolding, air tamponade, and graft attachment. At 3 months postoperatively, significant corneal clearing (625 μm central corneal thickness), improvement of visual acuity (decimal 0.04), and pain relief were obtained.
CONCLUSIONS AND IMPORTANCE: Intraoperative OCT is useful for nanothin DSAEK even when the surgical microscope view is compromised by a remarkably thickened host cornea due to advanced bullous keratopathy. As an alternative to a penetrating keratoplasty, less invasive nanothin DSAEK was successfully performed.
