Carotid wall thickness is predictive of incident clinical stroke: the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) study.American journal of epidemiology, 151 5
Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine whether multiple intravitreal injections of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) drugs for age-related macular degeneration (AMD) exacerbate systemic arteriosclerosis, using the cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) and intima-media thickness (IMT). Methods: We analyzed the data of 45 AMD patients who received intravitreal injections of anti-VEGF drugs (ranibizumab and/or aflibercept) and underwent systemic evaluations at baseline and after treatment. Reevaluation was conducted at ≥12 months from the initial treatment. Results: The total number of intravitreal injections of overall anti-VEGF drugs was significantly correlated with Δserum cystatin C. The cumulative number of aflibercept injections was identified as an independent protective factor for ΔCAVI. An increase in the cumulative number of intravitreal injections of overall anti-VEGF drugs was identified as a protective factor for Δmean IMT. Conclusion: Repeated intravitreal injections of an anti-VEGF drug for AMD may lead to morphological and functional changes in large arteries.
