Verteporfin and Intravitreal Triamcinolone Acetonide Combination Therapy for Occult Choroidal Neovascularization in Age-Related Macular Degeneration

Verteporfin PDT combined with intravitreal triamcinolone may improve the outcome of standard verteporfin PDT in the treatment of occult CNV secondary to AMD. An improvement in visual acuity was observed in most of the treated patients and was maintained during a two-year follow-up period. Retreatment numbers were lower than expected from monotherapy trials.
