Abstract:
?AIM:To study the clinical value of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug in adjuvant treatment of intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide ( IVTA ) for macular edema caused by retinal vein occlusion ( RVO) .?METHODS: Forty - eight eyes in 48 patients were randomly divided into trial and control group ( 24 eyes each ) in this prospective study. In the trial group, additional pranoprofen drops was administered from 1d before IVTA to 30d after injection. Central foveal thickness ( CFT ) was measured with optical coherence tomography ( OCT ) . Available documents of best corrected visual acuity ( BCVA ) , CFT, intraocular pressure and complications pre- and post-injection at 3d, 1,2wk, 1 and 3mo were evaluated.?RESULTS: After IVTA, BCVA was improved in both groups at different levels; but there was no statistically significant between two groups at each time point ( P>0. 05). The CFT values were 629 ± 43μm vs 605 ± 57μm before IVTA in the trail vs control groups (P>0. 05). The values were 432±74μm vs 511±32μm (t=7. 533, P<0. 05), and 275±54μm vs 379±29μm (t=13. 212, P<0. 05) of the trial vs control groups at 1 and 3mo after IVTA, respectively. Ocular hypertension occurred in 5 eyes after injection in trail group, and was controlled with anti-glaucoma medication and one eye with filtration surgery. Progression of cataract was noted in 3 of 35 phakic eyes and cataract surgery was performed in 2 eyes at 4-12mo after injection in trail group. Progression of cataract was noted in 4 eyes and cataract surgery was performed in 2 eyes at 4- 12mo after injection in control group. No retinal detachment and endophthalmitis happened during the whole period of follow-up.?CONCLUSION: Application of non - steroidal anti -inflammatory eye drops in perioperative period can be useful to improve the outcome of IVTA for macular edema, which needs further evaluation.
