A case of two connected stents deployed during iStent inject W surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Background

We report a case with two connected stents ejected simultaneously during an iStent inject W surgery, a modified second-generation iStent Trabecular Micro-Bypass System.

Case presentation

A 57-year-old woman with primary open-angle glaucoma underwent a combined cataract and iStent inject W surgery in her left eye. After the trabecular meshwork/Schlemm's canal was pierced by the trocar of injector, the delivery button was pressed a first time, but the stent was not ejected. After the button was pressed a second time, connected two stents were ejected. After removing the dislocated stents from the anterior chamber, two stents were implanted into the desired places using another injector. Except for mild hyphema, no postoperative complication occurred. Stereomicroscop
