[Feeder vessel treatment of choroidal neovascularization in age-related macular degeneration].

Abstract

Feeder vessel treatment is a technique requiring high-speed ICG angiography to detect the feeder vessels located at a distance from the subfoveal OCNV, CCNV, and PED. Although the final visual acuity result was for the most part stabilization, the technique appeared to be safe and reproducible. In patients who were not eligible for other therapies such as PED, feeder vessel treatment seemed to be a reasonable alternative.
