ABSTRACT:

Prcis

Perspectives and practice patterns regarding perioperative anticoagulation management and minimally invasive glaucoma surgery were queried among surgeons of American Glaucoma Society. Management varied based on surgeon preference and the type of procedure performed.

Purpose

The purpose of this study was to characterize anticoagulation and antiplatelet practice patterns for minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) in the perioperative period.

Materials and methods

This was a survey of surgeons of American Glaucoma Society (AGS) about anticoagulation decision-making for their most performed MIGS procedures.

Results

A total of 103 surgeons completed the survey, with 43.6% in an academic setting, 49.5% in a private practice setting, and 6.8% in a mixed prac
