Management of macular edema due to branch retinal vein occlusion with intravitreal injections of pegaptanib sodium

2009

Purpose To evaluate the efficacy of Pegaptanib Sodium as single therapy for macular edema due to non-ischemic branch retinal vein occlusion. Methods In this uncontrolled prospective pilot study 17 patients have been included with non-ischemic branch retinal vein occlusion. All of them showed macular edema in the OCT with central foveal thickness higher than 350 microns (mean, 541 +/- 140) and decrease in visual acuity lower than 0,5 Snellen ETDRS charts notation (mean, 0,16+/-0,14). After an initial injection of Pegaptanib Sodium evaluations were programmed every 5 weeks and further retreatments were developed in cases with macular thickness higher than 300 microns. No other therapies were …
