Risk of systemic adverse events after intravitreal bevacizumab, ranibizumab, and aflibercept in routine clinical practice.
Intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) pharmacotherapy plays a central role in the management of neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD), diabetic retinal disease (DRD), and retinal venous occlusive disease (RVO). The goal of this study was to compare the systemic safety of intravitreal bevacizumab, ranibizumab, and aflibercept in real-world practice. The investigators observed no differences in the risk of acute MI, CVD, major bleeding, or all-cause hospitalization after treatment initiation with intravitreal bevacizumab, ranibizumab, or aflibercept during routine clinical practice.
