PURPOSE: To compare the histopathologic and morphologic findings of encapsulated blebs following Ahmed glaucoma valve implantation and primary standard trabeculectomy with mitomycin-C.
METHODS: We reviewed the records of patients with otherwise...
PURPOSE: To compare the success rates, complications, and visual outcomes between silicone Ahmed glaucoma valve (AGV) implantation with 96 mm2 (FP8) or 184 mm2 (FP7) surface areas.
METHODS: This study is...
PURPOSE: To investigate the immediate and long-term outcomes of Ahmed glaucoma valve (AGV) implantation with silicone tube ligation and removable external stents.
METHODS: This retrospective non-comparative study investigated the outcomes...
PURPOSE: To evaluate whether a combination of penetrating keratoplasty (PKP) or pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) and Ahmed glaucoma valve (AGV) implantation affords a level of success similar to that of...
PURPOSE: We explored the performance of and pressure elevation caused by small-diameter microtubes used to reduce overfiltration.
METHODS: Using a syringe pump-driven constant-flow setting (2 µL/min), pressures were measured for polytetrafluoroethylene...
