Trabeculectomy versus Ahmed Glaucoma Valve implantation in neovascular glaucoma

Baerveldt glaucoma implant with Supramid© ripcord stent in neovascular glaucoma: a case series

“…Proliferative diabetic retinopathy was the commonest aetiology of NVG in our case review. This is consistent with reports from other countries [2,15] . Some reviews report ischemic retinal vein occlusion to be as frequent [3] , but diabetes is not only rampant in our local community but also on the rise globally.…”

Surgical Outcome of Ahmed Valve Implantation in Mexican Patients with Neovascular Glaucoma

“…Hyphema has been reported by other authors as the most common complication in up to 35 to 36°%; 16 17 we found an occurrence of hyphema of 16.67%, but the most common complication found in our patients was shallow chamber, which was observed in 8 patients (33.33%), similar to the findings by Mahdy et al who found an incidence of 30%, while others have not reported this as a predominant complication. 18 …”

Intraocular Pressure Control after Implantation of an Ahmed Glaucoma Valve in Eyes with a Failed Trabeculectomy

“…Other studies evaluating the IOP after AGV implantation in different types of refractory glaucoma showed IOP reductions ranging from 46.1 to 71.3% with different follow-up periods. 1128-30 Although our study did not include patients with secondary glaucoma, it presented decreases in IOP similar to those found in other studies, when considering the same follow-up.…”
