Aim: To evaluate the effectiviness of intravitreal Bevacizumab (IVB) as adjuvant treatment in Ahmed glaucoma valve implantation (AGVI) surgery in eyes of patients with neovascular glaucoma (NVG), within 2011 – 2015 period at Instituto Regional de Oftalmología. Material and Method: This observational, analytical, longitudinal, retrospective cohort study, selected 81 medical records of patients with NVG that fullfilled our inclusion criteria, of a total of 167 patients within the period 2011 – 2015, it was used two groups, the first one used AGVI (n = 43), meanwhile the other used AGVI plus IVB (n = 38). Results: The group that used the AGVI surgery represents 53.09 %, meanwhile the group that used AGVI plus IVB represents 46.91 %, out of a total of 81 medical records evaluated. In regard to the evaluated characteristics, age, sex, operated eye, etiology, just in this last one was found slight statistical significance (p = 0.046), it was determined that both treatments are effective for intraocular pressure (IOP) management, neovascularization, and simptomatology, without significative difference between both groups, due to all variables measured found the p value > 0.05, the incidence rate for the IOP control, as primary dependent variable, with the AGVI is 86%, while it was 86.8% for the AGVI plus IVB group, with a RR = 1.009, CI 95% (0.63 – 1.61), wich do not guarantee that is a better IOP controller, in comparison to the AGVI group, with a p value = 0.93. The most frequent complications with the more clinical relevance was the hyphema for the AGVI group, with almost two time more frequency in comparison with the AGVI plus IVB group. Conclusions: The AGVI surgery plus adjuvant IVB, is not more effective than the AGVI in eyes of patients with NVG, but it offers a higher postoperative safety.
