Researchers at the University of Bonn and Hospital Saarbrücken find Intravitreal bevacizumab a solution to choroidal neovascularization patients to secondary pseudoxanthoma elasticum. Robert P. Finger and his colleagues have tested the study to 15 patients. All these patients had active CNV secondary on pseudoxanthoma elasticum.

Patients received additional injections based on disease activity on an average of 2.4 injections, confirmed sources. Best corrected visual acuity averaged 20/100 at baseline. After the first injection, BCVA improved to average 20/63 and remained stable through final follow-up. Central retinal thickness significantly decreased, from 252 µm at baseline to 214 µm at final follow-up, the investigators reported. The study was published in the April issue of British Journal of Ophthalmology.
