Abstract
This evaluation of a Cochrane-review including five clinical trials of good methodological quality indicates that the antiangiogenic therapeutic agents, pegaptanib and ranibizumab, are effective treatment strategies for neovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD). The review does not include a direct comparison or an indirect statistical comparison between the two antiangiogenic agents. In clinical practice ranibizumab compared to pegaptanib is the drug of choice because of cost-utility analysis and the number of patients gaining visual acuity.
