Abstract：Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of treatment combined intravitreous injection Triamcinolone Acetonide(IVTA) with laser photocoagulation(LP) for branch retinal vein occlusion(BRVO) with maeular edema(ME).Method:Fifty-two patients(fifty-two eyes) with BRVO with ME were randomly divided into two groups,combination group:twenty-six eyes were treated with IVTA(4 mg/0.1 ml),and LP was used to treat all of the patients after one week.Laser group:twenty-six eyes were treated with LG.Best-corrected visual acuity(BCVA),central macular thinckness(CMT) and the incidence of complications were observed after the treatment.Result:For the different follow-up times at one month,three months,six months,BCVA and CMT of all patients improved after treatment,there were statistically significant differences between before treatment and after treatment in BCVA(P<0.05).Combination group was better than that of laser group(P>0.05).The CMT lowered in the combination group after treatment(P<0.05).The difference in the incidence of complications between the two groups showed a statistically significant difference(P<0.05).Conclusion:IVTA combined with LP can be an effective method in the treatment of DME,especially for patients which LP treatment is invalid,but its long-term efficacy and safety still need further observation.
