Primary objective of this trial will be to evaluate the safety and efficacy of intravitreal injections of Macugen (pegaptanib sodium) when given at least 7-14 days prior to vitrectomy in subjects with tractional retinal detachment (with or withoutmacular involvement) secondary to proliferative diabetic retinopathy.
Secondary objective is to evaluate regression of neovascularization and progression of macular traction utilizing OCT and fundus photographs.
