One-Year Outcomes of Preserflo TM MicroShunt Implantation versus Trabeculectomy for Pseudoexfoliation Glaucoma.
Journal of Clinical Medicine 2023 April 21
This retrospective, single-center study evaluates the safety and efficacy of PreserfloTM MicroShunt (MicroShunt) implantations compared to trabeculectomies (TETs) in patients diagnosed with pseudoexfoliation glaucoma (PEXG). A total of 31 eyes from 28 patients received a MicroShunt implantation, and 29 eyes from 26 patients received a TET. Surgical success was defined as an intraocular pressure (IOP) between 5 mmHg and 17 mmHg at the end of the follow-up period, no need for surgical revisions or secondary glaucoma surgery, and no loss of light perception. In the MicroShunt group, the mean IOP dropped from 20.8 ± 5.9 mmHg at baseline to 12.4 ± 2.8 mmHg ( p < 0.0001) after one year. In the TET group, the mean IOP dropped from 22.3 ± 6.5 mmHg to 11.1 ± 3.7 mmHg ( p < 0.0001) after 12 months. In both of the groups, the mean number of medications was reduced significantly (MicroShunt from 2.7 ± 1.2 to 0.2 ± 0.7; p < 0.0001 vs. TET from 2.9 ± 1.2 to 0.3 ± 0.9; p < 0.0001). Considering the success rates, 83.9% of the MicroShunt eyes achieved complete success, and 90.3% qualified for success at the end of the follow-up period. In the TET group, the rates were 82.8% and 93.1%, respectively. The postoperative complications were comparable between both groups. In conclusion, the MicroShunt implantation demonstrated non-inferiority regarding its efficacy and safety profile compared to TET in PEXG at a follow-up of one year.
