Short-Term Outcomes of KeraSys Patch Graft for Glaucoma Drainage Devices: A Case Series
Purpose. Tube-related exposure is a known complication of glaucoma drainage device (GDD) surgery. Our objective is to report the early (approximately 1 year) tube exposure rate of implants covered with a keraSys (IOP Inc., Costa Mesa, CA, USA) tissue reinforcement graft. Patients and Methods. A retrospective, noncomparative, consecutive case series of 42 eyes with GDD implantation with keraSys ...
متن کاملLong-term persistence of fascia lata patch graft in glaucoma drainage device surgery.
PURPOSE Conjunctival erosion in glaucoma drainage device surgery can be prevented by the use of patch grafts to cover the extraocular portion of the tube. Several materials can be used, among them human preserved fascia lata. METHODS The authors present a case of a failed Ahmed glaucoma valve due to encapsulation of the bleb, in which the fascia lata patch placed to cover the tube was removed...
متن کاملValved Glaucoma Drainage Devices in Pediatric Glaucoma: Retrospective Long-term Outcomes.
IMPORTANCE Relatively little data exist about the long-term outcomes of an initial glaucoma drainage device (GDD) and subsequent GDDs implanted in pediatric patients with glaucoma. OBJECTIVE To determine the long-term outcomes of the first and second GDDs and risk factors in pediatric glaucoma. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Retrospective review of 119 eyes of 89 patients younger than 18...
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 کاملOutcomes of using a sutureless bovine pericardial patch graft for Ahmed glaucoma valve implantation.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the long-term outcomes of a surgical technique using a sutureless bovine pericardial patch graft for the implantation of an Ahmed glaucoma valve (AGV). METHODS This was a pilot study on patients with primary open-angle glaucoma refractory to repeated surgical filtering procedures. All patients underwent AGV implant technique using a sutureless bovine pericardial patch ...
