Bevacizumab Effect on Blood Velocity

February 16, 2011 updated by: Optical Imaging, Ltd.

The Effect of Intravitreal Bevacizumab (Avastin) Injection on Retinal Blood-Flow Velocity in Patients With Choroidal Neovascularization

Retinal blood flow velocity is affected by Bevacizump intravitreal injection. This effect is correlated to treatment success.

Detailed Description

The purpose of the study was to carry out a pilot study on the short-term effect of intravitreal Bevacizumab (Avastin) injection on retinal blood-flow velocity and test whether the short-term haemodynamic changes could predict the longer term clinical result of the treatment.
