Long-Term Results of Complex Application of Pharmaco-Physiotherapeutic Methods in Antiangiogenic Therapy of Macular Edema in Patients With Postthrombotic Retinopathy

Abstract

retinoprotective mechanism of action in patients with ophthalmopathology. There were 180 patients (99 men and 81 women) with postthrombotic macular edema aged 42 to 73 years who suffered thrombosis of the upper temporal branch of the central retinal vein. All patients were divided into 3 groups. The first group (60 patients) received complex treatment (antiangiogenic therapy, magnetophoresis with lidase, endonasal electrophoresis with retinalamine). The second group (60 patients) received complex treatment (antiangiogenic therapy, magnetophoresis with lidase). The third group (60 patients) received antiangiogenic therapy. The period of observation of patients was 2 years. The combined use of pharmaco-physiotherapeutic methods with antiangiogenic therapy contributes to the prevention of retinal neovascularization and the occurrence of vitreoretinal traction syndrome in the long-term follow-up period of up to two years in patients with postthrombotic retinopathy.
