| Popis: | PURPOSE To summarize our clinical experience with implanting Baerveldt glaucoma tube shunts through the ciliary sulcus in eyes with a posterior chamber intraocular lens and shallow anterior chambers, corneal transplants, guttata or edema. PATIENTS AND METHODS A retrospective interventional nonrandomized noncomparative case series. Main outcome measure was postoperative corneal status. Secondary outcome measures included postoperative intraocular pressure (IOP), visual acuity and complications. RESULTS Thirty-six eyes of 32 patients were identified through chart review. Follow-up period was 21.8+/-16.6 months (mean+/-standard deviation, range: 4.0 to 58.5 mo). At final visit, all 23 preoperative clear native corneas and 6 of 7 corneal transplants remained clear. Thus, of the 30 preoperative clear corneas, only 1 decompensated. Preoperative IOP was 27.9+/-11.8 mm Hg (range: 12 to 59 mm Hg), reduced postoperatively to 10.1+/-3.9 mm Hg (range: 2 to 21 mm Hg, P=0.0001), a reduction of 58.2%+/-19.3% (range: 5.0% to 95.4%). Final IOP was >or=5 and |
