Five-year outcomes of photodynamic therapy combined with intravitreal injection of ranibizumab or aflibercept for polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy.

We report 5-year visual and anatomical outcomes after combination therapy of photodynamic therapy (PDT) and intravitreal injection of ranibizumab or aflibercept for polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) and predictive factors for visual outcomes at 5-year and time to recurrence.

description We report 5-year visual and anatomical outcomes after combination therapy of photodynamic therapy (PDT) and intravitreal injection of ranibizumab or aflibercept for polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) and predictive factors for visual outcomes at 5-year and time to recurrence. Medical charts were retrospectively reviewed for 43 consecutive eyes with PCV treated with combination therapy of PDT and intravitreal injection of ranibizumab(n = 13) or aflibercept(n = 30) and completed 5-year follow-up. The variants of ARMS2 A69S and CFH I62V were genotyped using TaqMan assay. Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) significantly improved at 5-year (P = 0.01) with 20% reduction of subfoveal choroidal thickness irrespective of presence or absence of recurrence. Visual improvement was associated with baseline shorter greatest linear dimension (GLD) (P = 1.0×10-4). Mean time to recurrence was 28.6±23.1 months (95% CI: 21.5-35.7, Median:18.0) and time to recurrence was associated with G allele (protective allele) of ARMS2 A69S and GLD (P = 4.0×10-4 and 1.0×10-2, respectively). Multiple regression analysis revealed that time to recurrence extended by 15.5 months when the G allele of ARMS2 A69S increased by one allele (TT: 15.7±17.0, TG: 30.8±23.5, GG: 41.1±22.6 months). The combination therapy resulted in a favorable visual outcome for PCV during 5-year follow-up.
