Clinical trials: Corneal Transplant Failure
Corneal Neovascularization, Corneal Graft Failure
Safety and Efficacy of Bevacizumab in High-Risk Corneal Transplant Survival
The leading risk factor for corneal transplant rejection is abnormal blood vessel growth of the host bed. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is thought to be a mediator of this corneal neovascularization (NV), therefore we…
