Glaucoma drainage devices; past, present, and future.
Glaucoma filtration surgery (GFS) has been shown to be more eVective at preventing disease progression than other primary treatment modalities in open angle glaucoma. 2 If it were possible to avoid complications associated with poor flow control, primary GFS would probably be offered more widely. Trabeculectomy, the procedure of choice in conventional GFS, has remained essentially unchanged for...
متن کاملComparison of different biomaterials for glaucoma drainage devices.
OBJECTIVES To compare the inflammatory reaction associated with the insertion of silicone and polypropylene endplates and endplates made of a new biocompatible polymer, Vivathane, in the rabbit subconjunctival space. METHODS Similar-sized endplates made of 3 different biomaterials were sutured to the sclera in the superotemporal quadrant of the rabbit eye. Thirty eyes of 15 albino New Zealand...
متن کاملArtificial drainage devices for glaucoma surgery: an overview.
Artificial drainage devices (ADD) create an alternative pathway for aqueous drainage from the anterior chamber of an eye through a tube to the subconjunctival bleb connected to an equatorial plate under the conjunctiva. The ADDs, both valved and non-valved, are available for end stage or refractory glaucoma. Currently, some of these devices, particularly the Express shunt, are recommended for t...
متن کاملComparison of different biomaterials for glaucoma drainage devices: part 2.
BACKGROUND Inflammation associated with biomaterials may contribute to the failure of glaucoma drainage devices. OBJECTIVE To compare the inflammatory reaction associated with the insertion of Krupin silicone, Molteno polypropylene, and Acrosof end plates in the subconjunctival space of rabbits. METHODS Similar-sized glaucoma end plates made of 3 different biomaterials were sutured to the s...
متن کاملGlaucoma after penetrating keratoplasty
Penetrating keratoplasty is a surgical intervention that despite the progress of surgical techniques and of postoperative treatment continues to have numerous complications. Many of them, such as graft rejection, significant astigmatism, cystoid macular edema, or cataract lead to important limitations of the visual function. Glaucoma is possibly the most dangerous complication following PK, lea...
