Efficacy of combined suprachoroidal stent and cataract surgery in patients with glaucoma
Journal of Glaucoma Aug 15, 2020
Law SK, Salazar D, Yu F, et al. - In this investigation involving 107 patients (141 eyes), researchers sought to assess the effectiveness of intraocular pressure (IOP) control after combined CyPass Micro-Stent implantation and cataract surgery (combined surgery). From February 2017 to July 2018, all cases of combined surgery performed at Stein and Doheny Eye Institutes were reviewed. Data reported that mean (±SD) preoperative IOP was 15.4 ± 3.4 mm Hg on an average of 2.2 ± 1.1 medications. Failure was associated with lower preoperative IOP, greater preoperative medication number, the occurrence of postoperative IOP spike, and non-Caucasian ethnicity. Findings suggested that combined CyPass Micro-Stent implantation and cataract surgery can lessen the burden of glaucoma medication with a success rate of 28% to 42% at 1 year.
