Patients with CNV secondary to AMD treated with a LD protocol had better results than patients treated with a PRN protocol with intravitreal bevacizumab.
Intravitreal infliximab showed no significant visual or anatomical benefit for the treatment of choroidal neovascularization secondary to age-related macular degeneration in patients who were nonresponders to antivascular endothelial growth factor therapy. In addition, half of the cases developed intraocular inflammation.
PDT with verteporfin does not seem to be a good treatment for stabilization of VA and lesion size in CNV secondary to AS, although the overall results seem to be slightly better in the group of patients treated with PDT than in the control group.
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.
