Purpose.

To compare the qualitative and quantitative choroidal neovascularization (CNV) changes after antivascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) therapy in treatment-naïve and treated eyes with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA).

Methods.

Consecutive patients with neovascular AMD underwent multimodal imaging, including OCTA (AngioPlex, CIRRUS HD-OCT model 5000; Carl Zeiss Meditec, Inc., Dublin, OH) at baseline and at three monthly follow-up visits.

Treatment-naive AMD patients undergoing anti-VEGF loading phase were included in group A, while treated patients were included in group B.

Qualitative and quantitative OCTA analyses were performed on outer retina to choriocapillaris (ORCC) slab.

CNV size was measured using a free image analysis software (ImageJ, open-source imaging processing software, 2.0.0).

Results.

Twenty-five eyes of 25 patients were enrolled in our study (mean age 78.32 ± 6.8 years): 13 treatment-naïve eyes in group A and 12 treated eyes in group B.

While qualitative analysis revealed no significant differences from baseline to follow-up in the two groups, quantitative analysis showed in group A a significant decrease in lesion area (P=0.023); in group B, no significant change in the lesion area was observed during anti-VEGF therapy (P=0.93).

Conclusion.

Treatment-naïve and treated eyes with CNV secondary to neovascular AMD respond differently to anti-VEGF therapy.

This should be taken into account when using OCTA for CNV follow-up or planning therapeutic strategies.
