RESUMENPropósito: Revisión sistemática sobre la eficacia y seguridad de la inyección intravítrea de bevacizumab (IVB) en el tratamiento del glaucoma neovascular (GNV). Se incluyen todos los trabajos originales publicados en Medline hasta agosto de 2008. Métodos: Búsqueda y selección de la información en Internet y Medline, validadas mediante el Índice Kappa (K). Estudio estadístico y clínico de los resultados en los trabajos seleccionados, uno a uno. Resultados: Se encuentran 26 artículos originales que analizan la eficacia y seguridad del procedimiento en casos únicos y en series cortas de casos. 24 de ellos se analizan conjuntamente, con un total de 127 ojos intervenidos. La eficacia calculada para casos difíciles es del 68,7%. Las recidivas en un seguimiento de 4,2 meses son del 18,6%. Todos los trabajos son posteriores a 2006 y ninguno cumple criterios de ensayo clínico aleatorizado.

All original papers published in Medline (prior to August 2008) were included. Methods: Search and selection of information on the internet and in Medline, validated by Kappa Index (K). Statistical and clinical study of the results in the selected articles on a one by one basis. Results: 26 original papers analyzed the efficacy and safety of the procedure in case reports and short series of cases (127 eyes). The efficacy calculated in the sample was 68.7% and the recurrence rate was 18.6% in 4.2 months of follow-up. All studies were after 2006 and none of them was a clinical randomized controlled assay. Ophthalmic complications were under 0.78% and no systemic complications were found. ARCH SOC ESP OFTALMOL 2008; 83: 579-588 MARTÍNEZ-CARPIO PA, et al.

Conclusions:The use of bevacizumab demonstrates that intravitreal injections may be effective and useful to manipulate growth factors in the anterior chamber. IVB could serve as a first line treatment for NVG. Clinical trials are needed to confirm these results before its use is authorized (Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol 2008; 83: 579-588).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
