Abstract
Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) is a novel, non-invasive imaging technology, which could acquire volumetric angiographic information. Numerous studies have reported the potential clinical use of OCTA in a variety of common retinal disorders. Polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) is characterized by the formation of branching choroidal vascular networks (BVN) with terminal dilatations (polyps). Indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) remains the golden diagnostic standard for PCV. The clinical application of OCTA in PCV is also widely investigated recent years. But the results are controversially interpreted. In addition to various diagnostic accuracy of PCV from different studies, the clinical application of OCTA in PCV is limited. With the constant innovation of fundus imaging techniques, OCTA is reaching greater investigation depth and become more accurate at picking up blood flow signals, which also improves the diagnostic accuracy of PCV. In this paper, we reviewed the clinical application and research progress of OCTA in PCV, in order to provide some assistant for clinical practice and correct interpretation of the reports.
