Abstract

Purpose: This study is designed to evaluate ocular and systemic complications in patients with intravitreal bevacizumab, which can be used for the treatment of selected cases. Materials and Methods: Between December 2006 and October 2009, 383 patients with different ocular pathology who were treated with intravitreal bevacizumab were included in the study. Total 1285 injections were performed. At least 1 and up to 10 repeated doses of intravitreal bevacizumab applied to 383 patients, in terms of ocular and systemic complications were evaluated retrospectively. At first day, first month, followed every 6 weeks, all patients were summoned to control. Minimum 3 months and maximum 2 years follow up results were discussed in the study. Patients were excluded if they had history of a cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, or peripherial vascular event in the 6 months before enrollment. Results: Complication rate of the total group was 20.1% with ocular complications of 74 patients and systemic complications in 3 patients. Most predominant ocular complications were subconjunctival hemorrhage (n=35), ocular inflammation in the anterior chamber (n=29) and intraocular pressure increase (>30 mmHg) (n=5). Other ocular complications were noted as iatrogenic hole in the retina, localized retinal detachment, severe corneal epithelium defect, vitreous hemorrhage and hifema, each one was reported in only 1 patient. The systemic complications were transient ischemic attack (n=2) and increased systemic arterial blood pressure (n=1). Conclusion: According to the results of our study, intravitreal bevacizumab injection may cause some ocular and rare systemic side effects.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışma seçilmiş olguların tedavilerinde kullanılan intravitreal bevacizumab ile hastalarda meydana gelen göze ait ve sistemik komplikasyonları değerlendirmek üzere tasarlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Aralık 2006 ile Ekim 2009 tarihleri arasında farklı göz patolojileri nedeniyle intravitreal bevacizumab uygulanmış 383 hasta çalışma kapsamına alınmıştır. Toplamda 1285 enjeksiyon yapılmıştır. En az 1, en fazla 10 tekrarlayan dozlarda intravitreal bevacizumab uygulanan 383 hasta gelişen göze ait ve sistemik komplikasyonlar açısından geriye dönük olarak değerlendirilmiştir. Tüm hastalar 1. günde, 1. ayda ve takip eden her 6 haftada kontrollere çağırılmıştır. Olguların en az 3 ay, en fazla 2 yıllık takip sonuçları sunulmuştur. Başvuru öncesi 6 ay içinde kardiyovasküler, serebrovasküler veya periferik vasküler hastalık hikayesi olan hastalar çalışma dışında bırakıldı. Bulgular: Toplam hasta grubunda 74 hastada göze ait ve 3 hastada sistemik olmak üzere %20.1 oranında komplikasyon izlendi. En sık göze ait komplikasyonlar; subkonjonktival kanama (n=35), ön kamarada inflamasyon (n=29) ve göz içi basınç artışı (>30 mmHg) (n=5) olarak izlendi. Diğer göze ait komplikasyonlar ise; iatrojenik retina deliği, lokalize retina dekolmanı, ciddi kornea epitel defekti, vitreus kanaması ve hifema olmakla birlikte her biri sadece 1 hastada izlendi. Sistemik komplikasyonlar ise geçici iskemik atak (n=2) ve sistemik arterial basınç artışı (n=1) olarak saptandı. Sonuç: Çalışmamızın sonuçlarına göre, intravitreal bevacizumab enjeksiyonu bazı göze ait ve nadiren sistemik komplikasyonlara neden olabilir.
