Anti Vegf injection after Angioplasty
My father, age 62, has undergone angioplasty last week (blockage 90% in RCA and LAD).
Can he take anti vegf injection for his diabetic retinopathy. Doctor had already suggested razumab injection, but angioplasty came before the date.
Is anti vegf injection safe after angioplasty? How many days should we wait?
Retina thickness 425 (OD) and 305 (OS) in OCT report.
