Transpupilary thermotherapy of occult subfoveal choroidal neovascularization secondary to age related macular degeneration
Abstract Background: Transpupillary thermotherapy is a new treatment for subfoveal choroidal neovascularization which needs further evaluation. This study was aimed to evaluate the efficacy of transpupillary thermotherapy on regression of occult subfoveal choroidal neovascularization with or without pigment epithelial detachment in patients with age-related macular degeneration. Methods: In a ...

متن کامل[Transpupillary thermotherapy and age-related macular degeneration].
Transpupillary thermotherapy (TTT) has been proposed over the last a few years for the treatment of subfoveal occult choroidal neovessels resulting from age-related degeneration (AMD) when they are symptomatic and associated with exudation. Several pilot studies have shown how this technique can decrease or slow down the progression of exudation related to choroidal neovessels. Based on these p...
