Tube insertion has a long history of medical use, including ophthalmology. The intrachoroidal tube placement by using retro-ocular insertion through scleral approach would be useful to decrease tissue damages and increase the DEX level in posterior eye segment, especially disc-macula area locally. In addition, the intrachoroidal tube near the disc might be possible to maintain drug level by repeating drug injections through the tube. |

Purpose: To understand the possible roles of intra-choroidal implantation, we investigated the in vivo release of betamethasone phosphate (BP) from the intra-choroidal implant. Furthermore, we sought to evaluate the effect of intra-choroidal implantation of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF)–impregnated gelatin in promoting choroidal neovascularization (CNV). |
