Needling and open filtering bleb revision after XEN-45 implantation—a retrospective outcome comparison
PURPOSE: To compare efficacy and safety of needling and open bleb revision after XEN-45 surgery. METHODS: This retrospective study represents real-life data of patients who underwent XEN-45 surgery between November 2014 and June 2018 in the Vienna General Hospital. The following groups were formed f...

Sumario: | PURPOSE: To compare efficacy and safety of needling and open bleb revision after XEN-45 surgery. METHODS: This retrospective study represents real-life data of patients who underwent XEN-45 surgery between November 2014 and June 2018 in the Vienna General Hospital. The following groups were formed for data evaluation: (PSEA) primary surgery secondary intervention allowed (n = 268); (PS) primary surgery until secondary intervention (n = 268); (N) first needling until additional secondary intervention (n = 55); (BR) first bleb revision until additional secondary intervention (n = 105). Main outcome measures were pre- and postoperative intraocular pressure (IOP), number of glaucoma medication (GM), Kaplan–Meier success rates, and secondary intervention rates. Success was defined as postoperative IOP < 21 mmHg and < 18 mmHg together with ≥ 20% IOP reduction with medication allowed. RESULTS: IOP (and GM) was lowered from 23.5 ± 8.0 (GM 3.1 ± 1.0) to 14.9 ± 8.2 mmHg (1.2 ± 1.4) in group PSEA and 18.1 ± 8.2 mmHg (1.5 ± 1.4) in group PS, in group N from 23.2 ± 10.1 (1.5 ± 1.0) to 19.3 ± 8.5 mmHg (2.2 ± 1.3) and in group BR from 22.0 ± 8.0 mmHg (2.5 ± 1.1) to 15.5 ± 6.4 mmHg (1.3 ± 1.5) after a median follow-up of 16.0, 8.4, 4.8, and 7.3 months, respectively. Success rates at 1 year were significantly higher in group BR (50.7%) compared to PS (37.7%, p = 0.019) and N (24.3%; p = 0.015). An additional intervention was required less frequently in group BR (17.1%) compared to group PS (49.6%, p < 0.001) and group N (54.5%, p < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Our data appear to indicate favorable outcomes for open XEN bleb revision in terms of Kaplan–Meier success rates and secondary intervention rate compared to the needling procedure. |
