内容：PURPOSE: To evaluate the visual and anatomic outcomes of intravitreal bevacizumab in patients with subfoveal idiopathic choroidal neovascularization (CNV).
DESIGN: Prospective, nonrandomized, interventional case series.
METHODS: Forty patients with subfoveal idiopathic CNV were included in this clinical trial. Their eyes were treated with a single intravitreal injection of 1.25 mg bevacizumab followed by as-needed dosing indicated by the presence and recurrence of intraretinal edema, subretinal fluid (SRF), or pigment epithelial detachment (PED), based on optical coherence tomography (OCT) performed monthly. Visual, clinical, angiographic, and anatomic changes were observed over a 12-month follow-up period.
RESULTS: After 12 months of follow-up, the mean logarithm of minimal angle of resolution (logMAR) best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) improved from 0.53 (20/68 in Snellen equivalent) at baseline to 0.29 (20/39 in Snellen equivalent; P < .001). Mean central retinal thickness determined by OCT decreased from 321 mum to 237 mum (P < .001). All eyes (100%) had stable or improved vision, and 28 eyes (70%) showed an improvement of 2 lines or more. All lesions were in the cicatricial stage of CNV at 12 months of follow-up, with no leakage of fluorescein in the late phase of fluorescein angiography and no intraretinal edema, SRF, and/or PED detected by OCT. No drug-related systemic or ocular side effects were observed.
CONCLUSIONS: Intravitreal bevacizumab is generally well tolerated and improves BCVA in eyes with subfoveal idiopathic CNV over a period of 12 months. Large, randomized, controlled, long-term clinical trials are required to further evaluate the efficacy and optimal strategy of this treatment modality.
