RESUMO
Degeneração Macular Relacionada à Idade (DMRI) exsudativa é a principal causa de perda visual severa em indivíduos acima de 50 anos nos países desenvolvidos. O fator de crescimento endotelial (VEGF) é considerado um dos mais importantes reguladores da angiogênese e da permeabilidade vascular . Drogas com atividade antiVEGF tem se mostrado eficaz em preservar ou melhorar a acuidade visual (AV) ao inibir a permeabilidade vascular e o crescimento neovascular nos pacientes tratados. Este artigo de revisão descreve o atual uso terapêutico das medicações antiVEGF para DMRI exsudativa e fornece uma visão geral do futuro da terapia antiangiogênica.
ABSTRACT
Neovascular age-related macular degeneration is the leading cause of severe, irreversible vision loss in individuals over 50 years in developed countries. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) has been shown to play a role in the regulation of choroidal neovascularization and vascular permeability. Anti-VEGF drugs have been shown to preserve or improve visual acuity by inhibiting vascular permeability and arresting the growth of neovascularization in the vast majority of treated patients. This review describes the current literature on the use of this therapeutic approach in the management of neovascular AMD and gives an overview of the future directions.
