Multiple Successive Branch Retinal Artery Occlusions in a Patient with Antiphospholipid Syndrome Despite Anticoagulation

On this episode of the JVRD Author’s Forum podcast, Dr. Albert Li of Vitreoretinal Consultants of New York discusses “Multiple Successive Branch Retinal Artery Occlusions in a Patient with Antiphospholipid Syndrome Despite Anticoagulation,” published in the July/August 2025 issue of the Journal of VitreoRetinal Diseases.

Host Dr. Timothy Murray and Dr. Li review a striking case in which a patient with triple-negative antiphospholipid syndrome experienced multiple branch retinal artery occlusions despite anticoagulation and later died from systemic complications. Hear how this case underscores the limits of current therapies, the value of fluorescein angiography and other imaging for diagnosis, and the importance of urgent, multidisciplinary evaluation of retinal arterial occlusions as possible harbingers of systemic vascular disease.
