High definition tomography to evaluate filtering bleb with biodegradable collagen implant in patients with high myopia
نویسندگان
چکیده
METHODS: A retrospective descriptive study of 10 patients (10 eyes) diagnosed with chronic open-angle glaucoma and high myopia. Patients underwent trabeculectomy with Ologen® implant, without mitomycin, with follow-up at one, three, six and nine months. Follow-up assessment included refraction, intraocular pressure (IOP), presence of complications, and examination of the bleb and implant using high-resolution tomography.

Ultrasound biomicroscopy and optical coherence tomography imaging of filtering blebs after deep sclerectomy with new collagen implant.
PURPOSE To identify the clinical and anatomic characteristics of filtering blebs after glaucoma surgery with a new biodegradable collagen implant, Ologen, using ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) and Visante anterior segment optical coherence tomography (OCT). METHODS The authors conducted a prospective interventional case series in 15 eyes with openangleglaucoma. The authors performed limbal-bas...
متن کاملSecondary subconjunctival implantation of a biodegradable collagen-glycosaminoglycan matrix to treat ocular hypotony following trabeculectomy with mitomycin C.
AIM Biodegradable collagen glycosaminoglycan matrices (CGM) have been introduced to glaucoma filtration surgery in order to prevent scarring of the filtering bleb. In this retrospective case series, we describe a new surgical concept for treating symptomatic ocular hypotony following filtration surgery with mitomycin C by a secondary subconjunctival implantation of a CGM. METHODS Depending on...

We describe a novel technique to bleb needling by injecting subconjunctival ologen through an intraocular lens (IOL) delivery system to modulate wound healing in a failing filter. Bleb needling with 26G needle was performed, followed by subconjunctival injection of a biodegradable collagen implant using an IOL delivery system with cartridge in two eyes with a failing filter and high intraocular...

Purpose. To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of three biodegradable terpolymers prepared from L-lactide, trimethylene carbonate, and glycolide (PTLGA) as an aid for trabeculectomy compared with the Ologen (OLO). Methods. Trabeculectomy was carried out on rabbits with implantation made from OLO or three PTLGA terpolymers. Intraocular pressure (IOP) was recorded 1, 2, 3, and 6 months postope...
متن کاملControl of filtering bleb structure through tissue bioengineering: An animal model.
PURPOSE To devise a means of providing controlled resistance between the anterior chamber and the subconjunctival space after trabeculectomy by implantation of a biodegradable, porous collagen matrix. METHODS Matrices were implanted in the right eyes of 17 rabbits after trabeculectomy, while left eyes served as surgical controls. The scleral flap was sutured loosely, and the implant provided ...
