A Novel Artificial Endothelial Replacement Membrane for the Treatment of Chronic Corneal Edema
The first-in-human results of EndoArt implantation demonstrated the device's potential to treat patients suffering from corneal edema with a favorable safety profile and effective edema reduction in most subjects, with no device-related serious adverse event. The EndoArt may offer a viable solution in regions facing a shortage of donor corneas, as well as for patients who have poor prognosis with human tissue.
