Abstract: Background Despite the XEN gel stent low-risk profile, various complications following the implant have been described, including internal and external occlusion, with a consequent postoperative rise in intraocular pressure (IOP). In this case report we aimed to present a XEN45 stent internal occlusion successfully treated by trimming in situ its proximal end with a 25 G vitreous scissors using a bimanual technique. Case presentation A 63-year-old … Show more

“…Pinto Ferriera et al 19 used a 23-G inner limiting membrane forceps to remove the blood clot over the ostium. Tatti et al 20 reported a case in which a 25 G vitreous scissors were used to trim ab interno of Xen45 Gel Stent occluded by the high adhesiveness of the brin clot after a failed Nd: YAG laser treatment. In our case, a 10 − 0 nylon suture was utilized to recanalize the Xen45 Gel Stent occlusion by intraluminal cellular debris or brin.…”

“…Nevertheless, it is possible to manage obstructed devices in a more conservative manner. In a recent report, Tatti et al [18] described how they successfully managed an obstructed XEN implant using an ab interno approach, with a 25-G vitreous scissor. Despite being a possible and easy approach to address this problem, in their case, a clot was visualized at the proximal edge of the device, a fact that was not similar to our case, whose obstruction was more distal and more difficult to manage.…”
