Over long term, DSEK and PK have similar cumulative endothelial cell loss but different patterns of loss
COPENHAGEN — A 10-year comparison of cell loss after penetrating keratoplasty and Descemet’s stripping endothelial keratoplasty showed a similar cumulative loss but different cell loss patterns.“We had previously evaluated the 5-year endothelial cell decline in both DSEK and DMEK and were pleased to find that the rate of decline was slower in the first 5 years as compared with PK,” Marianne Price, PhD, said at the EuCornea meeting.
