Mean age was 49 years. Pre-operative visual acuity (VA) was 20\/200 or less in 30 eyes (71.4%) and never better than 20\/40. Fluorescein angiography was analyzed before and after surgery. Pre-operative optical coherence tomographs (OCT) were studied in a masked fashion. Mean follow-up was 12 months (range 4\u201348 months).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Final VA was 20\/200 or less in 25 eyes (60%). According to the CNV etiology, the percentage were 87.5%, 80%, 57.1% and 20% respectively in eyes with AMD, MFC, high myopia, and idiopathic or other diseases. Post-operative VA improved in 21 eyes (50%) but subsequently declined in 7% by the final examination. Patients younger than 50 years had better functional results (p=0.006). Lack of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) changes on pre-operative angiography was correlated with good visual outcome (p&lt;0.001). The OCT study confirmed some features already described and showed some different CNV patterns: above and usually separated from the RPE, below and not separated from the RPE, and ungradable. Eyes with the first OCT pattern had the best visual outcome. Main complications included 4 (10%) retinal detachments and 9 (21%) recurrences. OCT was also useful to confirm CNV recurrences post-operatively.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>CNV surgical excision results vary depending on the underlying disease, the RPE and choriocapillaris function, and the features observed on pre-operative OCT images.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/112067210101100313","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,1,26]],"date-time":"2018-01-26T11:52:51Z","timestamp":1516967571000},"page":"287-295","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Surgical Removal of Subfoveal Choroidal Neovascularization: Visual Outcome and Prognostic Value of Fluorescein Angiography and Optical Coherence Tomography"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"C.","family":"Brindeau","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Intercommunal and  Henri Mondor Hospitals (Assistance Publique des Hopitaux de Paris) University of Paris XII, Cr\u00e9teil -
