Central Retinal Vein Occlusion Case-Control Study

We found many of the same risk factors previously identified for CRVO by other studies, but we identified both aspirin and warfarin use to be independent risk factors for CRVO. Although these findings suggest the vasculopathic and prothrombotic risks in some patients may not be addressed adequately by antithrombotic therapy, they also suggest that the pathogenesis of CRVO may be more complicated than just the development of a primary thrombus within the vein.
