Ab Interno Gelatin Stent With Mitomycin C Using Targeted Supra-tenon's Placement
In Brief
An observational study evaluating XEN-45 gelatin microstent for Glaucoma. Completed, enrolled 142 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The Xen-45 gelatin microstent is a novel, bleb-forming microinvasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS). Despite demonstrating similar efficacy and safety to trabeculectomy (traditional surgery), the Xen-45 gelatin microstent continues to suffer from occasional surgical failure due to fibrosis of the filtering bleb, and obstruction of the stent. During surgery, placement in a surgery known as supra-tenon's space is believed to maximize aqueous outflow, while preventing obstruction, limiting fibrosis of the bleb, and promoting long-term patency. Despite the theoretical merits, long-term data of outcomes after targeted supra-tenon's placement is needed to fully assess its potential in improving Xen-45 microstent outcomes.
