Complications of Glaucoma Drainage Implant Surgery

International Ophthalmology Clinics, 2000
Glaucoma drainage implants play an important role in the management of refractory glaucoma. It may be considered as a primary procedure in eyes with severe scarring of the conjunctiva and the limbus, neovascularization, multiple previous, failed filtering procedures, and severely glaucomatous eyes for which corneal graft is planned.

Morphology of glaucoma drainage implantation

Current Opinion in Ophthalmology, 1997
Implantation of glaucoma drainage devices has become a standard procedure in various forms of intractable glaucoma. Indications include extensive conjunctival scanning at the upper limbal area, neovascular glaucoma (in addition to pars plana vitrectomy and endolasercoagulation), and secondary glaucoma due to uveitis or trauma.

Implantation of a second glaucoma drainage device

Graefe's Archive for Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology, 2017
To evaluate success rates in controlling intraocular pressure (IOP) after implantation of a second glaucoma drainage device (GDD) with a Baerveldt glaucoma implant in patients with refractory glaucoma, with a secondary aim of reducing the need for postoperative glaucoma medications.This retrospective, noncomparative, interventional study included ...

Outcomes of Sequential Glaucoma Drainage Implants in Refractory Glaucoma

Journal of Glaucoma, 2016
To describe the outcomes of eyes that have undergone a second glaucoma drainage implant (GDI) surgery.A retrospective review of eyes that underwent a second GDI surgery from 2006 to 2013 was conducted. Primary outcome measures included intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction and success rates.

Glaucoma Drainage Implants

2017
Glaucoma Drainage Devices (GDDs) or shunts were proposed by Molteno and coll in 1968 for the treatment of refractory glaucomas, meaning those cases at a high risk of failure following filter surgery or in cases in which surgery was already not successful.

Sequential or Simultaneous Cyclophotocoagulation and Glaucoma Drainage Implant for Refractory Glaucoma

Journal of Glaucoma, 2002
To describe the outcomes of combining cyclophotocoagulation and tube-shunt glaucoma drainage implants, either sequentially or simultaneously, for the control of refractory glaucomas.A retrospective review was conducted of all patients that had been treated at our institute with both cyclophotocoagulation and a tube-shunt glaucoma drainage implant in ...

Tube Extender for Revision of Glaucoma Drainage Implants

Journal of Glaucoma, 2007
Our purpose was to evaluate the clinical experience with a glaucoma drainage implant tube extender.This was a noncomparative retrospective case series of 10 patients treated with a Tube Extender (New World Medical, Inc, Rancho Cucamonga, CA), with average follow-up of 23 months.The majority of patients (n=7) were treated for tube retraction, 1 had ...

Tissue Plasminogen Activator and Glaucoma Drainage Implants

Journal of Glaucoma, 1995
The tube lumen of a glaucoma drainage implant is prone to occlusion by a blood or fibrin clot due to its small caliber, relatively low flow rate, and the plasmoid nature of the aqueous humor passing through it in the early postoperative period. The use of tissue plasminogen activator in the management of drainage tube obstruction is described herein ...

A Comparison of Glaucoma Drainage Implant Tube Coverage

Journal of Glaucoma, 2002
Surgeons may use various materials, including donor sclera, dura, or pericardium grafts to cover glaucoma drainage implant tubes, prior to repositioning conjunctiva. We reviewed our experience with these materials.Sixty-four eyes with at least 24 months follow-up status post glaucoma drainage implant surgery were evaluated for signs of tube erosion, as

Indications of Glaucoma Drainage Implant

2019
Tube implants have been in vogue for over three decades. Its inception has brought a paradigm shift in the management of secondary glaucomas, where the only option earlier was cyclodestructive procedure. From the time of its innovation, however, it was restricted primarily to patients who were at a high risk of failure from conventional glaucoma ...
