Abstract
Like the classic trabeculectomy, the minimally invasive, ab interno XEN Glaucoma Gel Microstent (XEN-GGM) creates a filtration bleb in the conjunctiva. The goal of this study was to investigate internal bleb morphology over time with anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) after XEN-GGM implantation. In a prospective, single-centre, single-armed cohort study, blebs were characterized using AS-OCT in 78 eyes of 60 patients at day 1, at weeks 1 and 2 and at months 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 after XEN-GGM implantation in patients with open-angle glaucoma. Morphological bleb characteristics were correlated with IOP and surgical success. Anterior segment optical coherence tomography data indicate early and late bleb changes in the course of 12 months. Uniform blebs in AS-OCTs showed higher IOPs at all examinations between week 1 (17.7 ± 4.8 mmHg versus 11.3 ± 7.1 mmHg, p = 0.001) and month 3 (16.4 ± 6.1 versus 13.4 ± 6.1, p = 0.04). Subconjunctival tissue separation bleb morphology was associated with lower mean IOPs during the course of 12 months (r = -0.75, p = 0.031). Predictors for surgical failure at month 12 were microcystic multiform bleb morphology in AS-OCT at month 3 (60% versus 15%, relative risk 4.0, p = 0.043) and...Continue Reading
