Abstract

Purpose: To evaluate the effect of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibition on vascularized pigment epithelium detachment (vPED) associated with exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD).Material and Methods: The records of patients with exudative AMD associated with vPED who have been treated with anti-VEGFs were reviewed for outcome of measures to determine the effects of treatment on the lesion characteristics and vPED dimensions. Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), central foveal thickness (CFT) and vPED height measurements in optical coherence tomography (OCT) were recorded for each eye. Fluorescein angiography (FA)was performed initially and as needed thereafter to determine the lesion characteristics and PED diameter.Results: One hundred and six eyes of 96 patients were included in the study. All of the patients had received three loading doses of anti-VEGF followed by PRN (pro re nata) (as needed) dosing regimen. The mean follow-up time was 22.4±2.3months (20-35mo).The mean number of anti-VEGF injections was 8.5±2.3 . The best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) did not vary significantly; the central foveal thickness (CFT), PED height, and PED diameters decreased significantly at the end of follow-up. Complete resolution of PED was noted only in 21.6% of eyes; persistence of PED was observed in 78.4% of eyes. The persistence or resolution of PED in response to treatment did not correlate with the final visual acuity. Twenty one out of 106 eyes (19.8%) developed retina pigment epithelium (RPE) tear. Conclusions: This retrospective study showed that intravitreal anti-VEGF therapy for vPED preserved vision and reduced PED height and diameter; also demonstrated that the anatomical response of the PED may not correlate directly with the visual outcome.

Özet

Amaç: Eksudatif tip yaşa bağlı makula dejenerasyonu (eksudatif YBMD) ile ilişkili vaskularize pigment epitel dekolmanlı (vPED) hastalarda anti vasküler endotelyal büyüme faktörü (anti-VEGF) tedavisinin etkinliğini araştırmak.Gereç ve Yöntem: Eksudatif YBMD ile ilişkili vPED'li ve anti-VEGF tedavi almış hastaların kayıtları retrospektif olarak incelendi. Tedavinin lezyon karakteristikleri ve PED boyutları üzerine etkileri irdelendi.Başlangıçta ve tedavi boyunca olan tüm vizitlerde en iyi düzeltilmiş görme keskinlikleri belirlendi ve santral foveal kalınlık (SFK) ve vPED yükseklikleri optik koherens tomografi kullanılarak kaydedildi.Fundus florosein anjiografi kayıtları başlangıçta ve takiplerde lezyon özelliklerini ve PED çapını belirlemek için kullanıldı. Bulgular: Doksan altı hastanın 106 gözü çalışmaya dahil edildi. Tüm hastalara üç doz yükleme anti-VEGF tedavisi sonrasında gerektiğinde (pro renata-PRN) tedavi protokolü uygulandı. Ortalma takip süresi 22.4±2.3 ay (20-35 ay) iken ortalama tedavi sayısı 8.5±2.3 idi. Son takipte en iyi görme keskinliği başlangıca göre anlamlı olarak değişmezken; SFK; vPED çapı ve yüksekliği anlamlı olarak azaldı.Ortalma gözlerin %21.6'sında vPED tamamen kaybolurken %78.4'sında varlığını sürdürdü. Vaskülarize PED boyutlarındaki değişim ile görme keskinlikleri arasında ilişki gözlenmedi. Tedavi süresince 106 gözün 21'inde (%19.8) retina pigment epitel yırtığı saptandı.Sonuç: Eksudatif YBMD ile ilişkili vPED'li hastalarda anti-VEGF tedavi ile görme keskinliği korunurken vPED çap ve yüksekliği azalma göstermiştir ancak görme keskinliği ile vPED çapları arasında anlamlı ilişki saptanmamıştır.
