Anti-VEGF, A Biography: Part 1
Many young retina specialists have always known retina as an anti-VEGF world. But how did this happen? John D. Pitcher III, MD, joins Scott and Ranna in studio to deliver the first part of the tale of anti-VEGF in retina, taking the story back to the 1970s to tell the story of the discovery of VEGF, the creation of pegaptanib, and the struggles that early anti-VEGF encountered in retina. There are a lot of guests for this one, but the major players for this episode are Tony Adamis, MD; Bob Avery, MD; Jeff Heier, MD; and Kirk Packo, MD.
