One-Year Outcomes of Ab Externo XEN45 Gel Stent Implantation with an Open Conjunctiva Approach in Patients with Open-Angle Glaucoma.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

This study aimed to evaluate the 1-year surgical outcomes of XEN45 gel stent implantation with an open conjunctiva approach in patients with open-angle glaucoma (OAG).

Methods

This retrospective cohort study included 19 eyes of 19 patients who underwent XEN45 gel stent implantation with an open conjunctival approach. Surgical success was defined by intraocular pressure (IOP) ≤18 mmHg and one of the following: IOP reduction ≥30% or reduction of two glaucoma medications with final IOP if baseline IOP ≤18 mmHg. The cumulative probability of success rate was analyzed using Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. Cox proportional hazard regression analysis was used to assess prognostic factors for surgical failure.

Results

IOP reduced from 32.37 ± 12.08 mmHg preoperatively
