To describe a technique for extemporaneously drawing up bevacizumab for intravitreal injection (IVT) and report the rate of post-injection endophthtalmitis.Retrospective monocentric analysis (January 2010-December 2014) of all IVT of bevacizumab drawn up with the following technique: in the operating room (class ISO 7) through a mini-spike with an integrated bacteria retentive air filter. The surgeon was wearing sterile gloves and a mask. The assisting nurse wore a mask. The bevacizumab vial was discarded at the end of each session.Six thousand two hundred and thirty-six bevacizumab injections were performed. One case of endophthalmitis was noted (0.016%). During the same period, 4 cases of endophthalmitis were found after IVT of other drugs (4/32,992; 0.012%. P=0.8).Intravitreal injection of bevacizumab after extemporaneous withdrawal through a mini-spike filter is a simple and safe technique. The risk of postoperative endophthalmitis is very low. This simple technique facilitates access to compounded bevacizumab. |
