Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of the EAGLE Study is to compare the efficacy of conservative medical treatment and local intraarterial fibrinolysis in patients with central retinal artery occlusion and to evaluate benefit and risk for the patient of both therapies.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Subtotal central retinal artery occlusion or central retinal artery occlusion with choroidal hypoperfusion not lasting longer than 20h
* Patients aged from 18 years to 75 years (in case of pre-existing blindness of other eye also older than 75 years)
* Informed consent of the patient

Exclusion Criteria

* Central retinal artery occlusion lasting longer than 20h
* Eye diseases, namely branch retinal artery occlusion, cilioretinal arteries supplying the macula, combined arterial-venous occlusion, proliferative diabetic retinopathy and elevated intraocular pressure (over 30 mmHg)
* Systemic diseases, namely severe general diseases, systemic arterial hypertension (systolic pressure \> 200 mmHg), despite medical therapy, acute systemic inflammation (erythrocyte sedimentation rate \> 30 mm within the first hour/ C-reactive protein \> 1,0 mg/dl), antithrombin-III deficiency in case of thrombocytopenia (\< 100000 per ml): pathologic clotting time, acute pancreatitis with elevated pancreas enzymes
* Medical History: heart attack within the last 6 weeks, intracerebral bleeding or neurosurgical operation within the last 4 weeks, therapy with marcumar/warfarin, allergic reaction to contrast agent, haemorrhagic diathesis, aneurysms, inflammatory vascular diseases (e.g., giant cell arteritis, Wegener´s granulomatosis), endocarditis, gastric ulcer
* Patient participation in other studies during the prior 4 weeks
* No willingness and ability of the patient to participate in all follow-up examinations
* Pregnancy
* Written consent not given
* Patient is not mobile (bedridden)
* Other conditions/ circumstances likely to lead to poor treatment adherence (e.g., history of poor compliance, alcohol or drug dependency, no fixed abode)
