Ex-PRESS Miniature Glaucoma Shunt Versus Ahmed Glaucoma Valve in the Surgical Treatment of Glaucoma in Pseudophakic Patients.

AGV compared with Ex-PRESS shunt, had a higher success rate for secondary surgeries but not primary surgeries, in patients with prior clear corneal phacoemulsification. The AGV surgery also had a lower overall glaucoma reoperation rate.

Use of Autologous Scleral Graft in Ahmed Glaucoma Valve Surgery.

The use of an autoscleral rotational flap graft is an efficacious technique for primary tube patch grafting in routine AGV surgery, and yielded better results than an autoscleral free-flap graft.
