Kahook Dual Blade goniotomy vs iStent inject : Long-term results in patients with open-angle glaucoma
Clinical Ophthalmology Feb 14, 2021
Arnljots TS, et al. - Researchers conducted this retrospective study to assess and compare the effectiveness as well as the safety profile of Kahook Dual Blade (KDB) goniotomy and iStent inject when performed either as an isolated procedure or in combination with phacoemulsification cataract surgery. In total, 29 patients (30 eyes) were involved in the iStent inject group and 30 patients (32 eyes) in the KDB group. As a stand-alone procedure or combined with cataract surgery, all KDB and iStent subgroups except the stand-alone iStent inject subgroup demonstrated a clinically significant IOP-lowering effect. Compared to iStent inject, goniotomy with KDB in this setting seems to give an advantageous IOP reduction.
