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.

Diplopia after glaucoma drainage device implantation

Journal of American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus, 2013
To determine incidence of diplopia after glaucoma drainage device (GDD) surgery and to report treatment outcomes.Financial claims data were used to identify patients who underwent GDD surgery (CPT [Current Procedural Terminology] 66180) at the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute from January 2, 1991, through December 31, 2005. After a second claims data search,

Glaucoma Drainage Implants in Pediatric Patients

Ophthalmic Surgery, Lasers and Imaging Retina, 1993
ABSTRACT To assess the use of drainage implants in pediatric patients with glaucoma refractory to conventional medical and surgical therapy, we retrospectively reviewed 20 consecutive eyes in children 10 years of age or younger treated with 16 Molteno (three of which were removed and replaced with second Molteno shunts) and seven Baerveldt ...

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.

Anti-Scar Effects of Micropatterned Hydrogel after Glaucoma Drainage Device Implantation

Research
Excessive fibrosis is the primary factor for the failure of glaucoma drainage device (GDD) implantation. Thus, strategies to suppress scar formation in GDD implantation are crucial.

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 ...

Delayed Sterile Endophthalmitis after Glaucoma Drainage Implantation

Seminars in Ophthalmology, 2011
Glaucoma drainage devices are being used with increasing frequency for patients. Sterile endophthalmitis after implantation has been reported. Unlike traditional trabeculectomy surgery, the persistence of an implant may be contributory. As glaucoma specialists consider emerging technologies in implantable glaucoma drainage devices, it is important to ...

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 ...

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 ...
