Summary

This study compares the efficacy of intravitreal bevacizumab monotherapy only or combined therapy of posterior subtenon's triamcinolone acetonide and intravitreal bevacizumab for the treatment of macular edema associated with branch retinal vein occlusion.

Conditions

  • Branch Retinal Vein Occlusion

Interventions

PROCEDURE

intravitreal bevacizumab monotherapy

The monotherapy group receive intravitreal injection of 1.25 mg/0.05 ml bevacizumab. The injections are performed using 0.5% proparacaine drops for topical anesthesia under sterile conditions. The bevacizumab is injected through the pars plana using a 30-gauge needle.

PROCEDURE

combined therapy of posterior subtenon triamcinolone acetonide and intravitreal bevacizumab injection

The combined group receive intravitreal injection of 1.25 mg/0.05 ml bevacizumab and posterior subtenon injection of 40 mg/1.0 ml triamcinolone acetonide. The injections are performed using 0.5% proparacaine drops for topical anesthesia under sterile conditions. The bevacizumab is injected through the pars plana using a 30-gauge needle and triamcinolone acetonide is injected through the posterior subtenon area (near macula) by using a 27-gauge needle at the same time.
