Canaloplasty using iTrack 250 Microcatheter with Suture Tensioning on Schlemm's Canal
Open angle glaucoma (OAG) necessitating surgery has traditionally been treated with filtering procedures using antifibrotics. Unfortunately, such filtering procedures are not without the risk of postsurgical complications. Increasing interest in blebless surgery has led to innovative surgical procedures aimed at rejuvenating the natural trabeculo canalicular outflow pathway. Circumferential cat...
متن کاملExperimental circumferential canaloplasty with a new Schlemm canal microcatheter.
AIM To present a new, simple, inexpensive Schlemm canal microcatheter for circumferential canaloplasty in a rabbit model. METHODS A rabbit glaucoma animal model was established by intravitreal injection of triamcinolone acetonide. Circumferential canaloplasty with a new Schlemm canal microcatheter (patent license number: 201220029850.0) was performed. The Schlemm canal microcatheter was compo...
متن کاملRisk of circumferential viscodilation in viscocanalostomy.
Rękas et al. 1report on a new technique for lavage of predescemetic hemorrhage and blood clot removal after canalostomy assisted using the iTrack microcatheter (Ellex, Inc.). We have been using canaloplasty since 2006. In the beginning we used a 6-0 polypropylene suture for the catheterization of Schlemm canal and placing of a tension suture. This technique was adapted from 360-degree trabeculo...
متن کاملCanaloplastyVA New Approach to Nonpenetrating Glaucoma Surgery
Canaloplasty is a new nonperforating glaucoma operation, which utilizes the experience with viscocanalostomy and adds a further surgical step to keep the ostia open and to stretch the trabecular meshwork permanently. During the operation, a deep sclerectomy and viscocanalostomy are performed as described by Stegmann et al. After this, a 200-2m microcatheter (iTrack; iScience Surgical Corp, Menl...

PURPOSE To evaluate 2-year postsurgical safety and efficacy of canaloplasty (circumferential viscodilation and tensioning of the inner wall of Schlemm canal) to treat open-angle glaucoma (OAG). SETTING Multicenter surgical sites. METHODS This international prospective study comprised adult OAG patients having glaucoma surgery or combined glaucoma-cataract surgery. Qualifying preoperative in...
