Abstrakt:	Purpose: To report the efficacy of the XEN45 implant in advanced to end-stage glaucoma patients, after a 6 months follow-up. Methods: Retrospective, noncomparative electronic health record audit of patients who had undergone an XEN45 procedure. The main outcome measures were intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction and the number of antihypertensive medications. Secondary outcome measures were the rates of early postoperative complications. Complete and qualified success; failure and hypotony were defined according to the World Glaucoma Association guidelines (Shaarawy TM et al.). Needling rates and short-term complications were assessed and a subgroup analysis was performed. Results: A total of 39 eyes with advanced to end stage-glaucoma were included. Twenty eyes (51%) had undergone combined cataract surgery and 19 (49%), the XEN45 procedure alone. Mean IOP decreased from 19.67 ± 7.87 mm Hg to 13.18 ± 6.09 mm Hg; the number of medications decreased from a median use of 4 (IQR 2-5) to 0 (IQR 0-1). Complete success was achieved in 24 (61.5%) of the eyes, qualified success in 10 (25.6%), and failure in five (12.82%). Needling was required in 15 (38.46%) of the eyes at 6 months. Choroidal detachment occurred in eight (20.51%) eyes, numerical hypotony (IOP ≤ 5 mm Hg) at day 1 was noted in seven (17.95%) eyes with a full resolution by 2 weeks. Conclusion: In this short-term follow-up, we have seen that XEN45 is a viable, effective, and safe procedure utilized in advanced to end-stage glaucoma patients. Treating cases of significant hypotony using AC reformation with sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) is a safe and effective procedure. How to Cite This Article: Hindi I, Berkowitz E, Waizer I, et al.
