Ab Interno Gelatin Microstent With MMC vs. Trabeculectomy With MMC: 3 Year Retrospective Cohort Analysis (LongGVT)

November 17, 2021 updated by: Iqbal Ahmed, Prism Eye Institute

Longitudinal Gelatin Stent vs. Trabeculectomy (LongGVT Study): Ab Interno Gelatin Stent With Mitomycin C Versus Trabeculectomy With Mitomycin C: a Retrospective Cohort Analysis

To compare 3-year post-operative efficacy and safety of standalone ab interno gelatin microstent (Xen45®) versus trabeculectomy.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

This is a single-center retrospective cohort study. Patients included were consecutive patients from June 2012 - July 2017 who received standalone Xen45® or standalone trabeculectomy. The primary outcome was time to failure, defined as intraocular pressure (IOP) outside of 6mmHg - 17mmHg on no medications on two consecutive visits despite in-clinic maneuvers (including needling). Secondary outcomes included IOP cutoffs of 14mmHg and 21mmHg with and without medications, as well as interventions, complications, and reoperations.
