ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
The aim of this study was to compare the outcome of implantation of a XEN45 Gel Stent with the outcome of implantation of a Preserflo MicroShunt in a matched-pair analysis in eyes being naïve to filtering surgery.METHODS:
In this comparative, retrospective study, 50 eyes that had undergone XEN45 Gel Stent implantation were compared with 50 eyes after Preserflo implantation. Follow-up was at least 6 months, and surgical success was measured by criteria A (IOP < 21 mmHg, IOP reduction >20%, no repeat surgery); criteria B (IOP < 18 mmHg, IOP reduction >20%, no repeat surgery); and criteria C (IOP ≤15 mmHg, IOP reduction ≥40%, no repeat surgery).RESULTS:
After a follow-up period of 12 months, mean IOP had decreased from preoperative 25.2 ± 4.8 mmHg in the XEN group to 14.5 ± 4.0 (n = 35) and from 25.3 ± 6.8 mmHg to 11.9 ± 2.9 (n = 41) in the Preserflo group, respectively. The IOP at the last follow-up of the two groups differed significantly (p < 0.01). The probability of surgical success did not differ concerning Criteria A and B, but surgical success was significantly higher in the Preserflo group for Criteria C (60%, p < 0.01).CONCLUSION:
Both the Preserflo and XEN45 Gel Stent provide an effective and safe treatment option for advanced glaucoma and have a high potential to reduce intraocular pressure. Absolute IOP levels of <16 mmHg after 12 months were significantly more frequent in the Preserflo group.
