Summary
Patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy or clinically significant diabetic macular edema requiring surgical intervention will receive a pre-operative injection of Macugen. An initial, pre-injection vitreous tap will be done in order to provide baseline VRGF 165 and cytokine levels. At the onset of the vitrectomy, a second vitreous sample will be taken to obtain intra-operative levels of Macugen, VEGF 165 and cytokines.
