Anatomical and visual outcome of retinal angiomatous proliferation treated with photodynamic therapy and intravitreal triamcinolone.

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of photodynamic therapy (PDT) with verteporfin combined with intravitreal triamcinolone (TA) in retinal angiomatous proliferation (RAP).

Design: Retrospective, consecutive, noncomparative case series.

Methods: Patients newly diagnosed with RAP underwent indocyanine green angiography (ICGA)-guided PDT with verteporfin, immediately followed by intravitreal TA.

Effect of posterior juxtascleral triamcinolone acetonide on choroidal neovascular growth after photodynamic therapy with verteporfin.

Objective: To assess if posterior juxtascleral application of 40 mg triamcinolone acetonide (TA), given at the same time as initial photodynamic therapy (PDT) for predominantly classic choroidal neovascularization (CNV) related to age-related macular degeneration affects lesion growth at 3 and 6 months.

Design: Comparative (nonrandomized) interventional study.

Participants: The study group consists of 38 eyes of 38 patients.
