Intravitreal ranibizumab and/or dexamethasone implant for macular edema secondary to retinal vein occlusion.

TLDR
Both intravitreal ranibizumab and dexamethasone intravtreal implant could be used as first-line therapy for patients with ME secondary to retinal vein occlusion in a clinical setting.
Abstract
Purpose: To investigate the outcome of intravitreal ranibizumab and/or dexamethasone implant treatment for treatment of macular edema (ME) secondary to central or

Retinal vein occlusion and the use of a dexamethasone intravitreal implant (Ozurdex®) in its treatment

TL;DR: In patients with chronic macular edema not responsive to repetitive anti-VEGF therapies, the outcome after dexamethasone implant treatment is encouraging, but these results are achieved at the expense of side effects typically associated with steroids.

Twelve-month outcomes in patients with retinal vein occlusion treated with low-frequency intravitreal ranibizumab.

TL;DR: Even with a low number of injections during the introductory period, there were still improvements in both visual acuity and CMT in RVO patients after 12 months, indicating that it was an effective treatment.

Comparison of intravitreal dexamethasone implant and anti-VEGF drugs in the treatment of retinal vein occlusion-induced oedema: a meta-analysis and systematic review

TL;DR: Compared with anti-VEGF agents, DEX implant required fewer injections but had inferior functional efficacy and safety and the latter achieved comparable efficacy with a 4-month dosage interval.

Low frequency ranibizumab versus dexamethasone implant for macular oedema secondary to branch retinal vein occlusion.

TL;DR: The aim was to make a real‐world comparison of the efficacy of ranibizumab, dexamethasone and grid laser treatments in macular oedema due to branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO).
Journal ArticleDOI

The short-term efficacy of intravitreal ranibizumab, aflibercept and dexamethasone implant in the treatment of macular edema due to non-ischemic central retinal vein occlusion

TL;DR: IR and IA may be preferred treatment for ME due to non-ischemic CRVO as visual improvement remains the primary ophthalmological objective and the most important advantages of IDI are its effect on CMT and the need for fewer injections.

Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor in Ocular Fluid of Patients with Diabetic Retinopathy and Other Retinal Disorders

TL;DR: The data suggest that VEGF plays a major part in mediating active intraocular neovascularization in patients with ischemic retinal diseases, such as diabetic retinopathy and retinal-vein occlusion.

Ranibizumab for macular edema following central retinal vein occlusion: six-month primary end point results of a phase III study.

TL;DR: Intraocular injections of 0.3 mg or 0.5 mg ranibizumab provided rapid improvement in 6-month visual acuity and macular edema following CRVO, with low rates of ocular and nonocular safety events.

Randomized, sham-controlled trial of dexamethasone intravitreal implant in patients with macular edema due to retinal vein occlusion.

TL;DR: In this paper, the safety and efficacy of dexamethasone intravitreal implant (DEX implant; OZURDEX, Allergan, Inc., Irvine, CA) compared with sham in eyes with vision loss due to macular edema (ME) associated with BRVO or central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO).

Ranibizumab for Macular Edema following Branch Retinal Vein Occlusion

TL;DR: Intraocular injections of 0.3 mg or 0.5 mg ranibizumab provided rapid, effective treatment for macular edema following BRVO with low rates of ocular and nonocular safety events and no new safety events were identified in patients with BRVO.
