Xenografts  (sheep  pericard)  were  placed  into  the  suprachoroidal space in 44 patients with age-related macular degeneration. Patients were examined  before  and  6  months  following  the  treatment.  Direct revascularization  of  the  chorioidea  with  the  xenograft  placed  into  the suprachorioidal space was effective at all stages of age-related macular degeneration  improving  visual  functions  and  stabilizing  the  process. At the  scar  stage,  the  operation  was  a  method  of  choice  to  treat  these patients.
