Comparative effectiveness and safety of GATT with or without ABiC in patients with open-angle glaucoma.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This is the first comprehensive comparison between gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy (GATT) and GATT combined with ab interno canaloplasty (ABiC) in patients with OAG.

Purpose

The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety of gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy (GATT) combined with ab interno canaloplasty (ABiC) with those of GATT alone in patients with open-angle glaucoma (OAG).

Design

This was a retrospective, comparative case series.

Participants

Patients with primary open angle glaucoma who underwent GATT (27 eyes in Group 1) or GATT + ABiC (26 eyes in Group 2) were included.

Methods

Outcomes including intraocular pressure (IOP), glaucoma medications, and surgical complications were analyzed.
