Photodynamic Therapy for Choriocapillaris Using Tin Ethyl Etiopurpurin (SnET2)

Abstract

PDT with SnET2 was effective in this animal model, using low levels of activating light for the occlusion of the choriocapillaris. This has clinical implications for the treatment of choroidal neovascularization and could be a more selective therapy than thermal laser photocoagulation.
