PURPOSE: Our objective was to examine the feasibility of rotating choriocapillaris, Bruch's membrane (BM), and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) through 180° on a vascular pedicle and to assess revascularization and tissue preservation postoperatively.

METHODS: Successful surgery was performed in six rhesus macaque monkeys, w...
