About

To investigate, using optical coherence tomography angiography, the retinal vascular features in patients affected by RAP.

Full description

Retinal vascular anomalous complex represents a distinct form of neovascularization in patients with age-related macular degeneration.

The study investigated the changes in retinal vascular network using optical coherence tomography angiography, a novel and non invasive diagnostic technique that allows to better understand the pathophysiologic mechanism of this neovascularization.
