PURPOSE: To use optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) to characterize the effects of anti-VEGF injections on treatment-naive choroidal neovascularization (CNV). METHODS: From August 2014 to May 2015, treatment-naive eyes with CNV were scanned using a prototype OCTA system on a commercially available SD-OCT device (Optovue Inc, Fremont, CA). Optical coherence tomography angiography scans were obtained before anti-VEGF injection and at follow-up visits. The CNV area and greatest linear dimension (GLD) were measured along with the maximum retinal pigment epithelial detachment (RPED) height. Changes in subretinal and/or intraretinal fluid were also assessed. RESULTS: Six eyes of six patients with treatment-naive CNV were included. Diagnoses included neovascular age-related macular degeneration, idiopathic polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy, CNV secondary to central serous chorioretinopathy and multifocal choroiditis, and macular telangiectasia Type 2 with subretinal neovascularization. After treatment, all patients with fluid on OCT initially showed a decrease in the amount of fluid. Five of six patients demonstrated decreases in CNV GLD and area with an average reduction of 23.6% and 29.8% respectively. CONCLUSION: Both CNV greatest linear dimension and area measured using OCTA decreased after anti-VEGF treatment in most patients. Optical coherence tomography angiography may be a useful tool for monitoring and quantifying the response of CNV to treatment.
目的:使用光学相干断层扫描血管造影(OCTA)来描述抗VEGF注射对初治脉络膜新生血管(CNV)的影响。 方法:2014年8月至2015年5月,使用市售SD-OCT设备(Optovue公司,弗里蒙特,加利福尼亚州)上的原型OCTA系统对初治CNV的眼睛进行扫描。在抗VEGF注射前和随访时进行光学相干断层扫描血管造影扫描。测量CNV面积和最大线性尺寸(GLD)以及最大视网膜色素上皮脱离(RPED)高度。还评估视网膜下和/或视网膜内液的变化。 结果:纳入6例初治CNV患者的6只眼。诊断包括新生血管性年龄相关性黄斑变性、特发性息肉状脉络膜血管病变、继发于中心性浆液性脉络膜视网膜病变和多灶性脉络膜炎的CNV,以及伴有视网膜下新生血管的2型黄斑毛细血管扩张症。治疗后,所有OCT显示有液性暗区的患者最初均显示液量减少。6例患者中有5例CNV的GLD和面积减小,平均分别减少23.6%和29.8%。 结论:大多数患者在抗VEGF治疗后,使用OCTA测量的CNV最大线性尺寸和面积均减小。光学相干断层扫描血管造影可能是监测和量化CNV对治疗反应的有用工具。
