Comparison of aflibercept versus ranibizumab in patients with myopic choroidal neovascularization (Amphitheatre Havane (Level 3)) - Sep 26, 2019 - Abstract #EURETINA2019EURETINA_1695; In eyes with macular edema secondary to CRVO, both IVC and IVR achieved similar improvement in clinical parameters and similar reductions in aqueous humor levels of angiogenic and inflammatory cytokines. Both Aflibercept and Ranibizumab provided a comparable improvement in visual acuity and reduction of retinal thickness in patients with myopic CNV.

Anti-vegf therapy with/without initial steroid therapy for macular edema in branch retinal vein occlusion (Arlequin) - Sep 26, 2019 - Abstract #EURETINA2019EURETINA_1549; BRVO patients with macular edema (42 eyes) received intravitreal ranibizumab injection (IRI) alone [IRI group: 25 eyes] or IRI following subtenon triamcinolone (STTA) [combined group: 17 eyes]... These findings suggest that combined therapy with STTA followed by IRI may reduce the expression of inflammatory factors and suppress the recurrence of macular edema in BRVO patients.

Vitreous syneresis after intravitreal injection of ranibizumab in treatment of ROP () - Sep 26, 2019 - Abstract #EURETINA2019EURETINA_1281; Development of membraneous formation in the AP-ROP-group may due to incompleted involution of the primary vitreus in very small infants. Syneresis of the vitreous in both groups may due to unsuffecient development of the secondary vitreous in prematüre/immatüre infants with immatüre retinal development and unsufficient Müller cells, which are mainly involved in collagenfiber synthesis of secondary vitreus.

Ischaemic central retinal vein occlusion combined with cilioretinal artery occlusion in a 40-year-old patient receiving Vedolizumab for ulcerative colitis: a case report. () - Sep 26, 2019 - Abstract #EURETINA2019EURETINA_1266; Vedolizumab has received FDA and European Commission approval for use in the treatment of moderate to severe active ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. This medicinal product is subject to additional monitoring in order to allow quick identification of new safety information.There is one case of central retinal vein occlusion and one case of optic neuropathy reported in the literature with the use of Vedolizumab.Our case of ischaemic central retinal vein occlusion associated with cilioretinal artery occlusion in a young patient receiving Vedolizumab for ulcerative colitis may represent an additional ophthalmological involvement which was observed soon after the initiation of this biological agent.

Comparison of short-term efficacy between conbercept and ranibizumab for treatment of myopic choroidal neovascularization () - Sep 26, 2019 - Abstract #EURETINA2019EURETINA_1260; The study showed functional and anatomical improvement after treatment of conbercept and ranibizumab for myopic CNV during a 6-month follow-up period, but conbercept may be more effective than ranibizumab in promoting CFT reduction and CNV lesion reduction at 1 month after intravitreal injection and it may have a fewer injections than ranibizumab. A larger, longer period and randomized double shamed study is required to determine the efficacy of these two drugs.

When the patient hides the answer: a case report of a radiation retinopathy () - Sep 26, 2019 - Abstract #EURETINA2019EURETINA_1259; Radiation retinopathy can be a sight-threatening condition occurring after retinal exposure to irradiation treatment. It presents a clinical picture similar to changes seen in other retinopathies such as diabetic retinopathy, obstructions of retinal veins and retinal telangiectasia, so a high clinical suspicion based on a detailed medical past history is essential for diagnosis.

Ultrasound doppler and OCT-angiography in assessment of ocular blood flow in diabetic macular edema () - Sep 26, 2019 - Abstract #EURETINA2019EURETINA_1247; Thus, using ultrasound Doppler and OCT-angiographyfor assessment of OBF we registered no negative effect of antiangiogenic therapy on microcirculation of the retina and retrobulbar circulation. During the follow-up period (1 month), there was an insignificant improvement in hemodynamics in the CRA, normalization of blood flow in OA, and absence of significant changes in the microvascular network and FAZ area, which may indicate improvement of hemodynamic parameters with the reabsorption of macular edema.

Intravitreal ranibizumab and dexamethasone implant injections as primary treatment of diabetic macular edema: simultaneously double protocol () - Sep 26, 2019 - Abstract #EURETINA2019EURETINA_1245; During the follow-up period (1 month), there was an insignificant improvement in hemodynamics in the CRA, normalization of blood flow in OA, and absence of significant changes in the microvascular network and FAZ area, which may indicate improvement of hemodynamic parameters with the reabsorption of macular edema. The simultaneous addition of DEX implant at any time during the three-monthly loading doses of ranibizumab in patients with DME significantly improved the visual outcomes and revealed superior anatomic outcomes than those with the ranibizumab monotherapy.
