AbstractTo determine the efficacy of a combination of 5-fluorouracil and low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) to improve the outcome of surgery for established proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR). Double-masked, prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial. Three tertiary-referral teaching hospital vitreoretinal surgical units. One hundred fifty-seven patients with established PVR (grade C, anterior or posterior) undergoing vitrectomy surgery. All patients underwent vitreoretinal surgery and silicone oil exchange with or without membrane peeling and/or retinectomy. Patients were randomly allocated to perioperative infusion with or without 5-fluorouracil (200 μg/ml) and LMWH (5 IU/ml) in Hartmann's solution for 1 hour. The primary outcome measure was defined as posterior retinal reattachment after removal of silicone oil without any reoperations at 6 months. Secondary outcome measures recorded were posterior retinal reattachment, localized/tractional retinal detachment, visual acuity, macular pucker, hypotony, glaucoma, keratopathy, and cataract. Removal of silicone oil and reoperations were also recorded. Overall, at 6 months 84% of patients had full retinal reattachment and 94% had stable posterior retinal reattachment. There was no significant difference in success in the primary outcome measure (56%, treatment group; 51%, placebo group; P = 0.59) or in secondary outcome measures or rates of complications. Secondary macular pucker occurred less often in the treatment group (6% vs. 17% at 6 months, P = 0.068). A perioperative infusion of combined 5-fluorouracil and LMWH does not significantly increase the success rate of vitreoretinal surgery for established PVR. © 2004 by the American Academy of Ophthalmology.
