Long-Term Management of RAP Lesions in Clinical Practice: Treatment Efficacy and Predictors of Functional Improvement

Abstract: Purpose: To evaluate the long-term efficacy of ranibizumab in the treatment of retinal angiomatous proliferation (RAP) and to identify predictors of functional outcome. Methods: Retrospective case series comprised 79 eyes of 68 consecutive patients with RAP followed up ≥36 months. Primary end-points were best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and central macular thickness (CMT) variation at 36 months and at the last visit. Results: Mean follow-up time was 59.8 ± 16.0 months. All eyes were treated with pro re nata… Show more

“…32 Type 3 MNV is less likely to present with a large subretinal hemorrhage and in general responds well to intravitreal injections on a pro re nata regimen. 33,34 Of note, cross-sectional OCT is not ideal for visualizing blood; thus, the presence of a hemorrhage in nAMD is better ascertained with a clinical examination or fundus photography.…”

“…Vor diesem Hintergrund setzt die Publikation von Marques et al an und formuliert das Ziel, im Rahmen einer retrospektiven Studie die Langzeiteffektivität und Sicherheit von Ranibizumab bei einer RAP zu beurteilen sowie prädiktive Faktoren für das funktionelle Outcome herauszustellen [3]. Hierfür wurden 79 Augen mit einer RAP nachbeobachtet, die nach Pro-renata-Schema mit intravitrealen Ranibizumabinjektionen behandelt wurden.…”
