RESUMENObjetivo: Evaluar la seguridad y eficacia de la cirugía combinada de facoemulsificación y vitrectomía asistida con triamcinolona y aplicación de bevacizumab intravítreo en pacientes con catarata y edema macular diabético difuso. Pacientes y métodos: Estudio prospectivo, longitudinal, no aleatorizado, ensayo clínico no controlado. Se incluyeron trece pacientes en forma consecutiva que presentaron esencialmente catarata subcapsular posterior y edema macular difuso, a los que se les realizó cirugía de facoemulsificación, vitrectomía a tres puertos 25G asistida con triamcinolona, endofotocoagulación y aplicación de bevacizumab intravítreo. Se realizó seguimiento con medición de agudeza visual, fluorangiografía retiniana y tomografía óptica coherente (OCT) basal, a las 2 semanas, en el primer, tercero y sexto meses. Resultados: Se encontró una mejoría visual de al menos 2 líneas de visión al final del seguimiento en diez de los pacientes. En cuanto al grosor central ARTÍCULO ORIGINAL ABSTRACTObjective: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of combined phacoemulsification and triamcinoloneassisted vitrectomy with intravitreal injection of bevacizumab in patients with cataract and diffuse diabetic macular edema. Methods: In this prospective, non randomized, interventional case series we included 13 eyes of 13 patients with posterior subcapsular cataracts and diffuse macular edema who underwent phacoemulsification, 25G triamcinolone-assisted vitrectomy, endophotocoagulation and had a bevacizumab injection at the end of the procedure. The follow-up consisted of basal best corrected visual acuity, fluorescein angiography, and optical coherent tomography performed at 2 weeks, one, three and six months post-operatively. Results: An improvement in the best corrected visual acuity of at least two lines was seen in 10 of the 13 patients. The basal average central macular thickness initially was 358.23 µ (SD 50 µ) while at the end of follow-up was 216.6 µ (SD 23.2 µ).
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.
