Treatment of retinal pigment epithelial detachment with antiangiogenic therapy
PURPOSE Evaluate the efficacy of pegaptanib, a selective anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) agent, and bevacizumab, a nonselective anti-VEGF agent, for retinal pigment epithelial detachment (PED) associated with occult choroidal neovascularization (CNV) secondary to age-related macular degeneration (AMD). METHODS Prospective, comparative, nonrandomized pilot study included patient...
متن کاملRetinal pigment epithelial tears following ranibizumab therapy for fibrovascular retinal pigment epithelial detachment due to occult age-related macular degeneration
BACKGROUND The aim of this paper is to report the incidence of retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) tears in patients treated with ranibizumab for subfoveal fibrovascular retinal pigment epithelial detachment (FVPED) due to occult age-related macular degeneration (AMD). MATERIAL/METHODS Thirty patients were treated according to the following schedule: saturation phase, further treatment was based...
متن کاملEfficacy of reduced-fluence photodynamic therapy for serous retinal pigment epithelial detachment with choroidal hyperpermeability
BACKGROUND Very few reports have addressed methods of treatment for idiopathic serous (IS) pigment epithelial detachment (PED). OBJECTIVE The purpose of this report was to describe clinical courses of two patients with ISPED in whom reduced-fluence photodynamic therapy (RFPDT) was performed. CASE REPORTS Two patients (a 38-year-old woman and a 42-year-old man) were diagnosed with ISPED. In ...
متن کاملThe onset of pigment epithelial proliferation after retinal detachment.
The adult mammalian retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) is mitotically inactive, yet retains the capacity to proliferate under certain conditions. To determine the onset of RPE proliferation after retinal detachment, we examined experimentally detached cat retinas of 12, 24, 48, and 72 hr duration. An additional animal served as a nondetached, sham-operated control. 3H-thymidine was injected into ...
متن کاملImmediate loss of vision due to retinal pigment epithelial tear after anti-angiogenesis treatment of pigment epithelial detachment.
Intravitreal injection of ranibizumab, an antivascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) drug, is currently the primary treatment for wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in the UK. Use of ranibizumab for the treatment of isolated pigment epithelial detachments (PEDs) without the presence of an occult choroidal neovascular membrane has not been studied in a randomized controlled fashion an...
