- W2941994584 abstract "Corneal neovascularization is considered an important risk factor for allograft rejection after corneal transplantation (keratoplasty). Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine whether preoperative reduction of corneal neovascularization by fine-needle thermal cauterization combined with bevacizumab reduces the incidence of allograft rejection after subsequent high-risk keratoplasty.In this interventional uncontrolled clinical pilot study, 31 eyes of 31 patients with corneal neovascularization in at least one corneal quadrant were included. All eyes were treated by fine-needle thermal cauterization of corneal vessels and subconjunctival injection of bevacizumab. Both treatments were repeated in the cases of visible reperfusion of occluded vessels. Afterward, penetrating keratoplasty was performed. When corneal neovascularization was present on the day of keratoplasty, additional vessel cauterization and injection of bevacizumab was performed. Patients were then followed to determine the incidence of allograft rejection.In 18 eyes, vessel cauterization with bevacizumab injection was performed once before keratoplasty, whereas 13 eyes required retreatment before keratoplasty. No complications were observed. In 23 eyes, corneal neovascularization was present on the day of keratoplasty due to reperfusion of previously occluded vessels and simultaneous vessel cauterization with bevacizumab injection was performed. During follow-up (mean: 560 days; range: 59-1095 days), 4 graft rejection episodes in 4 eyes were observed. Estimated probabilities of corneal graft survival were 92.9% after 1 year (number at risk: 23), 78.4% after 2 years (number at risk: 9), and 78.4% after 3 years (number at risk: 3).Our initial results indicate that angioregressive treatment of pathological corneal vessels by fine-needle thermal cauterization combined with subconjunctival injection of bevacizumab before high-risk keratoplasty seems to result in graft survival rates comparable to survival rates seen in normal-risk keratoplasty. The findings of our pilot study warrant further controlled clinical trials with longer follow-up in a larger patient cohort." @default.
