To compare the 12-month outcomes of intravitreal ranibizumab (IVR) between two angiographic subtypes of polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV).
This is a retrospective cohort study of 38 treatment-naïve PCV cases. Three consecutive IVR and retreatments as needed were performed. Subsequently, the PCV cases were classified into two phenotypes (18 type 1 and 20 type 2) according to the status of branching vascular network. The best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was evaluated in each PCV subtype up to 12 months after the initial IVR.
The mean BCVA was significantly improved from baseline in type 1 PCV while not in type 2 PCV. In type 2 PCV, 3 cases showed severe visual loss after 6 months from the initial IVR. The mean retreatment number was 1.9 ± 1.7 in type 1 PCV and 1.2 ± 1.3 in type 2 PCV.
The outcomes of IVR may be different between two angiographic subtypes of PCV.
比较息肉状脉络膜血管病变(PCV)两种血管造影亚型玻璃体内注射雷珠单抗(IVR)的12个月疗效。
这是一项对38例初治PCV病例的回顾性队列研究。连续进行3次IVR,并根据需要进行再次治疗。随后,根据分支血管网状态将PCV病例分为两种表型(1型18例,2型20例)。在初次IVR后长达12个月的时间里,对每种PCV亚型的最佳矫正视力(BCVA)进行评估。
1型PCV的平均BCVA较基线有显著改善,而2型PCV则没有。在2型PCV中,3例在初次IVR后6个月出现严重视力丧失。1型PCV的平均再次治疗次数为1.9±1.7次,2型PCV为1.2±1.3次。
PCV的两种血管造影亚型接受IVR治疗的疗效可能不同。
