Journal: Aflibercept Versus Bevacizumab and/or Ranibizumab for Recurrent Macular Edema Secondary to Central Retinal Vein Occlusion. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 4, 2019 Preincubation with anti-VEGF drugs can alter the miRNA expression profile in response to H2O2-induced oxidative stress, and these drugs may have epigenetic effects. In patients with recurrent ME secondary to CRVO, there was improvement in BCVA and CFT in all groups, although patients treated with aflibercept showed a trend toward better anatomical outcomes decreased need for recurrent injections.

Journal: Ranibizumab versus Dexamethasone Implant in Macular Edema Secondary to Branch Retinal Vein Occlusion: Two-year Outcomes. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 30, 2019 This overview of reviews and meta-analyses suggest that anti-VEGF treatments do not increase the risk of systemic adverse events, but that caution might be advisable in older patients with age-related macular degeneration who may be at higher risk of hemorrhagic events when receiving ranibizumab. Ranibizumab was effective in the treatment of macular edema secondary to branch retinal vein occlusion in both visual and anatomical outcomes; however, dexamethasone implant was effective only in anatomical outcomes.

Preclinical, Journal: In vivo antivascular endothelial growth factor treatment induces corneal endothelium apoptosis in rabbits through changes in p75NTR-proNGF pathway. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 28, 2019 In this study, we demonstrated that anterior chamber injection (IC), but not IVT injection of two different anti-VEGF agents, aflibercept and ranibizumab, affects rabbit corneal endothelium in terms of survival and apoptosis and is associated with changes in endothelial expression of NGF precursor (proNGF) and p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75NTR) receptor. We observed an increase in corneal endothelial cell incorporation of trypan blue and expression of cleaved-caspase 3 (c-Casp3), p75NTR, and RhoA after IC injection of both anti-VEGF drugs when compared with the vehicle...Aflibercept also mediated a significant increase in endothelial expression of proNGF when compared with the vehicle. In line with these data, IC administration of both anti-VEGF agents induced the activation of apoptotic signals in endothelial cells, including an increase in c-Casp3, decrease in Bad Ser 112 phosphorylation, and unbalance of AKT phosphorylation. These results demonstrated that administration of anti-VEGF in the anterior chamber of rabbit affects endothelial cell survival by inducing apoptosis through alteration of NGF pathway.

Сombined surgical treatment for diabetic macular edema (Room 353) - Sep 26, 2019 - Abstract #EURETINA2019EURETINA_2266; Purpose: To evaluate the results of treatment of diabetic macular edema using a combined vitrectomy / ranibizumab and only vitrectomy as monotherapy... Combination therapy including PPV with peeling epiretinal membrane and ILM peeling in combination with IVR demonstrates the best anatomical and functional results, in particular: the improvement of visual acuity and decrease of the central area of the retina thickness in patients with diabetic macular edema and epiretinal membrane.

Further Ozurdex may be considered as a adjunct or treatment in place of Anti-VEGF treatment for macular oedema secondary to retinal vein occlusion, although the natural history of the disease may limit visual improvements more in the long term.

We can state through this study that the treatment of diabetic macular edema with anti-VEGF associated with corticosteroid has a greater benefit than the treatment with these single drugs, shown by optical coherence tomography.

Treatment of diabetic macular oedema: real world outcomes from a dedicated UK injection unit (Amphitheatre Havane) - Sep 26, 2019 - Abstract #EURETINA2019EURETINA_2114; However, the study highlighted an insufficient consideration of additional intravitreal steroid use in patients who were not responding to anti-VEGF treatment, and a tendency to continue injecting ‘non-responders’. Recognising and changing these practices could reduce the number of injections given, both reducing the cost and burden on the service as well as increasing patient compliance with a reduced number of appointments.The majority of patients (91%) did not attend the recommended 6 monthly outpatient review in diabetic eye clinic which is where additional risk factors are monitored and general advice can be given to help in the overall management of diabetic eye disease.

These data suggest that in treatment-naïve nAMD patients, after 24-months, even those patients who could not be extended achieved clinically meaningful improvements in BCVA.

Analysis of the relationship between anatomic control and visual acuity outcomes with anti-VEGF therapy: a post-hoc analysis of catt study data (Amphitheatre Havane) - Sep 26, 2019 - Abstract #EURETINA2019EURETINA_2062; The findings suggest that prolonged exposure to excess macular fluid during the first year of anti-VEGF treatment, as signified by a higher cumulative average central retinal thickness with an IRF component or a greater proportion of time with IRF present, results in sub-optimal BCVA improvement, after controlling for age, gender, baseline BCVA and retinal thickness. The ability to achieve and sustain a dry retina and adhere to a treatment regimen that provides consistent anatomic control remain key treatment considerations in nAMD.

Axial growth appeared in both eyes.the peripheral retina of the eyes treated with laser was obviously destroyed,ametropia were significantly changed compared with the contralateral eyes.Therefore, anti-vascular therapy has achieved better results in this case.
