Patient NoFluorescein angiographic features at follow upICG-A features at follow upSize of laser spot applied (ICG-A guided)Diameter of the largest anterior choroidal vessel before PDTDiameter of the same choroidal vessel 3 months after PDTChanges in diameter of the choroidal vessels at 3 months
PED = detachment of the retinal pigment epithelium; RPE = retinal pigment epithelium; CNV = choroidal neovascularisation.
