Each group received intravitreal injections of bevacizumab, ranibizumab, or normal saline. Immediately afterwards, each rabbit underwent four 6 mm full-thickness dermatologic punch biopsies. Twenty rabbits from each agent group underwent wound harvesting on day 7 or day 14. The skin samples were stained for CD34 for vascular endothelial cells on day 7, and maximal wound tensile load was measured on days 7 and 14. Quantitative assessment of mean neovascularization (MNV) scores was obtained from 10 contiguous biopsy margin 400× fields of CD34-stained sections by two independent observers.Results: Wound tension reading means (N) with standard error and adjusted P-values on day 7 were: saline placebos, 7.46 ± 0.87; bevacizumab, 4.50 ± 0.88 (P = 0.041); and ranibizumab, 4.67 ± 0.84 (P = 0.025). On day 14 these were: saline placebos, 7.34 ± 0.55; bevacizumab, 6.05 ± 0.54 (P = 0.18); and ranibizumab 7.99 ± 0.54 (P = 0.40). MNV scores in CD34 stained sections were: saline controls, 18.31 ± 0.43; bevacizumab, 11.02 ± 0.45 (P < 0.0001); and ranibizumab, 13.55 ± 0.43 (P < 0.0001). The interobserver correlation coefficient was 0.928.Conclusion: At day 7, both anti–vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) agents had significantly suppressed MNV scores and exerted a significant reduction of cutaneous wound tensile strength compared with saline controls. At day 14, neither agent produced a significant effect on tensile wound strength. Since angiogenesis is an integral component of the proliferative phase of wound healing, we encourage clinicians to be aware of their patients' recent surgical history during intravitreal anti-VEGF therapy and to consider refraining from their use during the perioperative period.Keywords: wound healing, tensile strength, bevacizumab, ranibizumabChristoforidis JBWang JJiang AWillard JPratt CAbdel-Rasoul MRoy SPowell HMDove Medical PressarticleOphthalmologyRE1-994ENClinical Ophthalmology, Vol 2013, Iss default, Pp 185-191 (2013)
