Intravitreal Aflibercept for Macular Edema Secondary to Branch Retinal Vein Occlusion in Chinese Patients.
PURPOSE
To investigate the short-term efficacy and safety of intravitreal aflibercept in a case series of patients from Taiwan, China, with macular edema secondary to branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO).
METHODS
A total of 32 patients with macular edema associated with BRVO, without prior macular laser or other intervention, were enrolled consecutively from September 2013 to February 2015. The cases received single 2 mg injections of intravitreal aflibercept. Primary outcome measures included changes in central foveal thickness (CFT; 1 mm increments by spectral-domain optic coherence tomography) and best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), determined at 1, 2, and 3 months after the injection. Complications after injections were recorded. The changes in CFT and BCVA were compared with Wilcoxon sign-rank tests.
RESULTS
The CFT was significantly reduced and the BCVA was significantly improved at 1, 2, and 3 months after injection (all P < 0.05). Tomography findings revealed no recurrence within 3 months. No systemic thromboembolic events, elevated intraocular pressure, retinal detachment, or infectious endophthalmitis occurred following injection.
CONCLUSION
Single intravitreal aflibercept may be useful in treating macular edema associated with BRVO within 3 months. No adverse systemic or ocular effects were found in this case series.
期刊介绍:
Eye science was founded in 1985. It is a national medical journal supervised by the Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China, sponsored by Sun Yat-sen University, and hosted by Sun Yat-sen University Zhongshan Eye Center (in October 2020, it was changed from a quarterly to a monthly, with the publication number: ISSN: 1000-4432; CN: 44-1119/R). It is edited by Ge Jian, former dean of Sun Yat-sen University Zhongshan Eye Center, Liu Yizhi, director and dean of Sun Yat-sen University Zhongshan Eye Center, and Lin Haotian, deputy director of Sun Yat-sen University Zhongshan Eye Center, as executive editor. It mainly reports on new developments and trends in the field of ophthalmology at home and abroad, focusing on basic research in ophthalmology, clinical experience, and theoretical knowledge and technical operations related to epidemiology. It has been included in important databases at home and abroad, such as Chemical Abstract (CA), China Journal Full-text Database (CNKI), China Core Journals (Selection) Database (Wanfang), and Chinese Science and Technology Journal Database (VIP).
