Subretinal recombinant tissue plasminogen activator injection and pneumatic displacement of thick submacular hemorrhage in age-related macular degeneration

Article Outline

 

With apologies from the authors, a significant error was noted in the article entitled “Subretinal Recombinant Tissue Plasminogen Activator Injection and Pneumatic Displacement of Thick Submacular Hemorrhage in Age-Related Macular Degeneration” (Ophthalmology 2004;111:1201–8). The recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) concentrations throughout the article should have been in μg/ml (micrograms per milliliter), not in mg/ml (milligrams per milliliter). More specifically, the concentration of rt-PA injected into the subretinal space should have read 125 μg/ml instead of mg/ml.
