Clinical outcomes after Ahmed glaucoma valve implantation for pediatric glaucoma after congenital cataract surgery

Journal of Glaucoma Jan 16, 2021

Geyer O, Segal A, Melamud A, et al. - In the present study, the researchers sought to report on the outcomes of Ahmed valve implantation in children with glaucoma following congenital cataract surgery. Between 2007 and 2018, medical records were reviewed for 41 pediatric eyes (27 patients) with glaucoma after congenital cataract surgery with Ahmed glaucoma valve (AGV) implantation. Data reported that the median age at the time of AGV implantation was 80 months and the mean follow-up period was 61.1 ± 46.5 months. It was noted that the cumulative probability of surgical success was 95.1%, 89.8%, 83.1%, and 72.6% at 12, 24, 60, and 84 months, respectively. The most common complication was an early hypotony. AGV implantation was successfully used for IOP control in the majority of our pediatric eyes with glaucoma after congenital cataract surgery, despite a decline in surgical success over time. The majority of complications were efficiently handled and surgical success was maintained.
