ICE-Syndrome: A Case Report of Implantation of a Microbypass Xen Gel Stent After DMEK Transplantation.
Summary
Implantation of Xen gel stents may be a promising option for minimally invasive glaucoma surgery in difficult situations, as low adverse effects, good postsurgery visual acuity and sufficient regulation of intraocular pressure can be seen.
Abstract
PURPOSE
Treatment of glaucoma eyes with iridocorneal endothelial syndrome is complex. Minimally invasive glaucoma surgery, such as one that implements a novel, microinvasive device, known as Xen gel stents, has shown promise in surgical glaucoma treatment and offers a new therapeutic option.
METHODS
This is a case report.
RESULTS
A successful implantation of Xen45 gel stent in a woman with secondary glaucoma due to unilateral iridocorneal endothelial syndrome after descement membrane endothelial keratoplasty operation, and the follow-up are presented.
CONCLUSIONS
Implantation of Xen gel stents may be a promising option for minimally invasive glaucoma surgery in difficult situations, as low adverse effects, good postsurgery visual acuity and sufficient regulation of intraocular pressure can be seen.
