Factors Associated With Gonioscopy-Assisted Transluminal Trabeculotomy (GATT) Complications and Failure in Children

A Comprehensive Review of Pediatric Glaucoma Following Cataract Surgery and Progress in Treatment

“…[120][121][122][123][124] Hyphema is the most common complication following GATT and usually resolves within 1 month postoperatively without additional intervention. 21,125 Microbypass stents aim to reduce outflow resistance and lower IOP by providing a channel or dilating the SC to facilitate aqueous drainage, including iStent, iStent injection (Glaukos Corporation, Laguna Hills, CA), 126 and Hydrus Microstent (Ivantis Inc., Irvine, CA). 127 Lastly, GT has also been used in conjunction with phacoemulsification and goniosynechialysis.…”

“…MIGS has shown some success in select cases of childhood glaucoma with short-term follow-up 16–18. In the meantime, MIGS has been used increasingly often to treat GFCS 17,19–22…”

“…[16][17][18] In the meantime, MIGS has been used increasingly often to treat GFCS. 17,[19][20][21][22] We aim to review the diagnostic criteria, classification, risk factors, mechanism, treatment, and efficacy of MIGS in GFCS.…”

Secondary in-the-bag intraocular lens implantation combined with 120- and 360-degree goniotomy in glaucoma following congenital cataract surgery: a case report

“…Comparing with GDD implantation, goniotomy has the benefit of avoiding intraocular implants and does not require antimetabolites, that is to say, failure due to increased fibrotic activity and rapid wound healing response in younger patients [9] and endothelial cell loss following GDD implantation may be avoided. In addition, 120-degree goniotomy with Kahook dual blade for treating GFCS was reported in one case report [3] and GATT was reported in limited cases [4,10] . Therefore, goniotomy may be an appropriate treatment for GFCS in pediatric patients.…”
