Corneal endothelial cell loss after Baerveldt glaucoma drainage device implantation in the anterior chamber
PURPOSE To investigate central and peripheral corneal endothelial cell density (ECD) in relation to Baerveldt (BV) glaucoma drainage device (GDD) tube corneal (TC) distance. METHODS Prospective study of all patients scheduled for glaucoma tube surgery with 36 months follow-up. A BV GDD was inserted into the anterior chamber (AC). Anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) scans we...
متن کاملPartial thickness corneal tissue as a patch graft material for prevention of glaucoma drainage device exposure.
BACKGROUND To protect from erosion of the tube in glaucoma drainage device (GDD), the tube is covered by a biologic tissue which is roofed by the conjunctiva. Sclera, pericardium, dura mater and cornea are available as a patch graft. Drawbacks of some of these materials may include high cost and poor appearance. The purpose of this study is to report the long-term outcomes of partial thickness ...
متن کاملLate onset endophthalmitis associated with unexposed glaucoma valved drainage device.
We report an extremely rare presentation of late-onset endophthalmitis in a young adult patient with an unexposed Ahmed tube implant. The implant was inserted 11 years prior to presentation. There was no history of trauma or any obvious exposure on clinical examination and the tube plate was filled with purulent material. After aqueous and vitreous tap, the patient underwent intracameral, intra...
متن کاملExperimental flow studies in glaucoma drainage device development.
AIMS (I) To examine whether small holes produced by 248 nm excimer laser ablation in a polymer substrate could consistently produce a pressure drop in the desired target range (5-15 mm Hg) at physiological aqueous flow rates for use as an internal flow restrictor in a glaucoma drainage device, and (ii) to investigate whether external leakage could be reduced in comparison with conventional tube...
متن کاملMRI of the Ex-PRESS stainless steel glaucoma drainage device.
AIM To evaluate the magnetic properties of the Ex-PRESS stainless steel glaucoma drainage device during MRI. DESIGN Experimental study. METHODS The Ex-PRESS glaucoma drainage device (316L stainless steel) was examined for magnetic field interactions under standard 1.5, 3.0, and 4.7 T MRI scanning protocols. Testing included measurements of translational and rotational motion of the device i...
