BackgroundIn this study, we aimed to analyze the efficacy and safety of ab interno XEN ® gel stent (Allergan Inc., Dublin, Ireland) implantation in a series of eyes with open-angle glaucoma and a history of previous filtering glaucoma surgeries.
MethodologyThis retrospective, single-center study included all eyes that underwent XEN gel implantation with a minimum follow-up of 18 months that had previously undergone a filtering glaucoma surgery. The main outcomes were intraocular pressure (IOP) variation (baseline, first day, first week, and first, third, sixth, 12th, and 18th months), the number of hypotensive eyedrops at 18 months, intraoperative and postsurgical complications, and the need for subsequent glaucoma surgery.
