Subconjunctival injection of bevacizumab (avastin) on corneal neovascularization in different rabbit models of corneal angiogenesis.
PURPOSE Bevacizumab is a potent recombinant humanized monoclonal antibody directed against vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the therapeutic effect of subconjunctival injection of bevacizumab on corneal neovascularization (NV) in different rabbit models. METHODS Several rabbit models of corneal NV were used, including (1) a corneal micropocke...
متن کاملSubconjunctival bevacizumab injection for corneal neovascularization in recurrent pterygium.
PURPOSE We report on the use of subconjunctival bevacizumab on corneal vessel density in recurrent pterygia. METHODS The charts of 5 patients with recurrent pterygium, who received subconjunctival injections of bevacizumab (2.5 mg/0.1 ml) were retrospectively reviewed. Ophthalmic evaluation included Snellen visual acuity (VA), tonometry and complete examination before the injection and at 1 w...
متن کاملRegression of Iris Neovascularization after Subconjunctival Injection of Bevacizumab
To describe three cases of neovascular glaucoma (NVG) where iris or angle neovascularization regressed remarkably after subconjunctival bevacizumab injections used as the initial treatment before pan retinal photocoagulation (PRP) and/or filtering surgery. Three consecutive NVG patients whose intraocular pressure (IOP) was not controlled with maximal medication were offered an off-label subconj...
متن کاملIntravitreal Injection of Bevacizumab (Avastin) to Treat Posterior Capsule Neovascularization
We report a 64-year-old diabetic woman who developed neovascularization of the posterior capsule 2 years after cataract surgery and intraocular lens implantation. The patient was treated with single injection of 1.25 mg of intravitreal bevacizumab (Avastin) via pars plana. After one week, complete regression of the posterior capsule neovascularization was achieved allowing us to perform Nd: YAG...
متن کاملInhibition of Corneal Neovascularization by Subconjunctival Injection of Ranibizumab and Bevacizumab in Rabbit Cornea
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of subconjunctival ranibizumab and bevacizumab injection on angiogenesis in the rabbit cornea. The corneas of 24 New Zealand rabbits were cauterized with silver nitrate to induce neovascularization. The eyes were irrigated with 10 ml of 0.9% saline solution. The alkaline burns were similar in all the rabbits. At the 24 h after cauterization, the...
