<P>Purpose:<P>To evaluate the outcomes and prognostic factors of pars plana vitrectomy combined with subretinal injection of recombinant tissue plasminogen activator for submacular hemorrhage (SMH) patients with or without vitreous hemorrhage (VH).</P></P><P>Methods:<P>Sixty-four eyes of 64 patients with SMH underwent pars plana vitrectomy with subretinal injection of recombinant tissue plasminogen activator. Best-corrected visual acuity, SMH displacement, and postoperative complications were analyzed. Predictive factors of the final best-corrected visual acuity were determined using multivariant linear regression.</P></P><P>Results:<P>There were 26 eyes with VH and 38 eyes without VH best-corrected visual acuity significantly improved in both VH group (from 2.27 ± 0.40 to 1.25 ± 0.70 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution) and non-VH group (from 1.76 ± 0.55 to 0.85 ± 0.65 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution). Complete displacement of SMHs was observed in 47 (73.43%) eyes. Postoperative complications included recurrent SMH (4.69%), recurrent VH (10.94%), rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (3.13%), and epiretinal membrane (4.68%). Treatment-naive condition, early surgery, and younger age were significantly associated with better final best-corrected visual acuity (<I>B</I> = 0.502, 0.303, and 0.021, respectively, with all <I>P</I> < 0.05).</P></P><P>Conclusion:<P>Pars plana vitrectomy combined with subretinal recombinant tissue plasminogen activator injection is an effective treatment for SMH patients with and without VH.</P></P>
