| Sumario: | Purpose: This study aims to assess the effectiveness and safety of combining the Preserflo™ MicroShunt implant (MicroShunt) with a simultaneous Ologen™ implant in patients with glaucoma. Methods: We conducted a retrospective study on consecutive patients with medically uncontrolled glaucoma who underwent MicroShunt + Ologen implantation as a standalone procedure or in combination with phacoemulsification (combined procedure). Success was defined as achieving an intraocular pressure (IOP) of 6-15 mmHg at 18 months post surgery, with a preoperative IOP reduction of at least 20%, and without (complete success) or with (qualified success) the need for antiglaucoma medications. The primary endpoint was the success rate. Results: Forty-eight eyes from 47 patients were included, with 28 eyes (58.3%) undergoing the standalone procedure and 20 eyes (41.7%) undergoing the combined procedure. Overall, there was a significant reduction in preoperative IOP from 19.7 ± 5.8 mmHg to 11.4 ± 2.6 mmHg at 18 months (P < 0.0001). In the standalone procedure group, preoperative IOP decreased from 21.5 ± 5.2 mmHg to 11.7 ± 2.5 mmHg (P < 0.0001), and in the combined procedure group, preoperative IOP decreased from 17.1 ± 5.8 mmHg to 10.9 ± 2.7 mmHg (P = 0.0002), with no significant difference between the two groups regarding final IOP. The mean number of antiglaucoma medications significantly decreased from 3.2 ± 1.1 to 0.3 ± 0.7 in the overall study population (P < 0.0001). At 18 months, 40 eyes (83.3%) were classified as successful. Regarding safety, out of the total number of eyes, two (4.2%) experienced choroidal detachment without visual impairment, two (4.2%) had transient hyphema, one (2.1%) showed reactivation of a corneal herpetic ulcer, one (2.1%) had diplopia, and one (2.1%) exhibited a shallow anterior chamber during the first week. Conclusion: The combination of Ologen™ and Preserflo™ MicroShunt, either alone or in conjunction with phacoemulsification, demonstrated a favorable profile in terms of IOP reduction and safety. |
