PURPOSE: To evaluate the impact of venting incisions on the best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), astigmatism, aberrations, and risk of graft detachment in Descemet stripping automated keratoplasty (DSAEK).
METHODS: This was a retrospective, comparative, consecutive case series of DSAEK procedures performed with (n = 266) and without (n = 110) venting incisions. Patients were treated with DSAEK for Fuchs' endothelial dystrophy at Aarhus University Hospital between 2011 and 2013. Data included preoperative keratometry and postoperative BCVA, subjective astigmatism, and Pentacam® HR tomography with corneal front surface (CFS) aberrations at 1 to 2 years of follow-up. Numbers of triple procedures (concurrent cataract surgery) and post-operative graft detachments were also noted. The venting and non-venting groups were compared by the data-means. Unpaired t-tests and Mann-Whitney tests were used for normally and non-normally distributed data, respectively. Differences in graft detachments were analyzed with Fisher's exact and Chi square test.
RESULTS: There was no significant difference in any parameter, except the numbers of triple procedures. BCVA (logMAR) was 0.25 ± 0.18 in the venting group and 0.25 ± 0.19 in the non-venting group (p = 0.92), subjective astigmatism was -1.53 ± 0.99 diopters and -1.33 ± 0.78 diopters (p = 0.15), respectively. CFS astigmatism and higher order aberrations were statistically uniform. The relative risk (RR) of graft detachment was also uniform between the venting versus non-venting group (RR 0.72, p = 0.40), and between triple versus non-triple procedures (RR 0.71, p = 0.43). The preoperative corneal curvature had no impact on the risk of graft detachment (p = 0.74).
CONCLUSION: Venting incisions in DSAEK do not significantly alter BCVA, astigmatism, CFS aberrations or reduce the risk of graft detachment in triple or non-triple procedures.
