Popis: AIM: To quantitatively analyze the retinal intermediate and deep capillary plexus (ICP and DCP) in patients with retinal deep vascular complex ischemia (RDVCI), using 3D projection artifacts removal (3D PAR) optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA). METHODS: RDVCI patients and gender- and age-matched healthy controls were assessed and underwent OCTA examinations. The parafoveal vessel density (PFVD) of retinal deep vascular complex (DVC), ICP, and DCP were analyzed, and the percentage of reduction (PR) of PFVD was calculated. RESULTS: Twenty-four eyes in 22 RDVCI patients (20 in acute phase and 4 in chronic phase) and 24 eyes of 22 healthy subjects were enrolled as the control group. Significant reduction of PFVD in DVC, ICP, and DCP was observed in comparison with the controls (DVC: acute: 43.59%±6.58% vs 49.92%±5.49%, PR=12.69%; chronic: 43.50%±3.33% vs 51.20%±3.80%, PR=15.04%. ICP: acute: 40.28%±7.91% vs 46.97%±7.14%, PR=14.23%; chronic: 41.48%±2.87% vs 46.43%±3.29%, PR=10.66%. DCP: acute: 45.44%±8.27% vs 51.51%±9.97%, PR=11.79%; chronic: 37.78%±3.48% vs 51.73%±5.17%, PR=26.97%; all P
