AIM:To explore how oxygen saturation in retinal blood vessels is altered in ischemic and non-ischemic branch retinal vein occlusion(BRVO).·METHODS:Fifty BRVO eyes were divided into ischemic(=26)and non-ischemic(=24)groups,based on fundus fluorescein angiography.Healthy individuals(=52 and=48,respectively)were also recruited as controls for the two groups.The mean oxygen saturations of the occluded vessels and central vessels were measured by oximetry in the BRVO and control groups.·R ESULTS:In the ischemic BRVO group,the occluded arterioles oxygen saturation(Sa O2-A,106.0%±14.3%),instead of the occluded venule oxygen saturation(Sa O2-V,60.8%±9.4%),showed increases when compared with those in the same quadrant vessels(Sa O2-A,86.1%±16.5%)in the contralateral eyes(〈0.05).The oxygen saturations of the central vessels showed similar trends with those of the occluded vessels.In the non-ischemic BRVO group,the occluded and central Sa O2-V and Sa O2-A showed no significant changes.In both the ischemic and non-ischemic BRVOs,the central Sa O2-A was significantly increased when compared to healthy individuals.·CONCLUSION:Obvious changes in the occluded and central Sa O2-A were found in the ischemic BRVO group,indicating that disorders of oxygen metabolism in the arterioles may participate in the pathogenesis of ischemic BRVO.
