2 Case Presentation CC: Right eye pain and headache HPI: 52 yo Caucasian male Presents to ED with OD pain/redness, decreased vision, headache x 1 day IOP measured at 60 mmhg--> was given Trusopt, Timolol, Alphagan, PO Diamox, and IV Mannitol (en route) Transferred for further care 8/27/2015 2

3 History POHx: Congenital Cataracts; OD- aphakic, s/p Baerveldt valve (approx. 10 yrs ago); OSprosthetic PMHx: HTN, Aortic Stenosis, IDDM x 18 yrs, HLP, obesity Meds: Insulin, Lisinopril, Simvastatin, Gemfibrozil, Naproxen, Travatan Z OD Allergies: NKDA FHx: CAD, HTN, DM, HLP Social Hx: Denies tobacco/alcohol/drugs 8/27/2015 3

11 Glaucoma Drainage Devices Aid filtration by shunting aqueous to subconjunctival space Tube placed into AC, sulcus, or vitreous through pars plana --> aqueous flows through device to extraocular reservoir Nonvalved (Molteno and Baerveldt) or Valved (Ahmed) 8/27/

12 Glaucoma Drainage Devices Indications: Failed trabeculectomy w/antifibrotics Active uveitis Neovascular glaucoma Inadequate conjunctiva Aphakia 8/27/

13 Use of ultrasound biomicroscopy to diagnose Ahmed valve obstruction by iris Monica M. Carrillo,* MD; Graham E. Trope,* MB, PhD, FRCSC; Charles Pavlin, MD, FRCSC; Yvonne M. Buys,* MD, FRCSC Case 1 27 yo male with Axenfeld- Reiger syndrome Bilateral failed filtration surgeries Ahmed valve placed in AC OS IOP increased post-op Poor view 2/2 bullous keratopathy UBM showed iris occlusion of tube Laser iridotomy --> IOP decreased to 22 mmhg Case 2 71 yo monocular female with Juvenile glaucoma Maximal tolerated therapy OD Ahmed valve placed in sulcus IOP increased post-op Poor view 2/2 failed PKP Transsceral CPC --> IOP decreased to 10 mmhg UBM showed iris occlusion of tube 4 months later- repeat PKP and iridectomy 8/27/

14 Use of ultrasound biomicroscopy to diagnose Ahmed valve obstruction by iris Monica M. Carrillo,* MD; Graham E. Trope,* MB, PhD, FRCSC; Charles Pavlin, MD, FRCSC; Yvonne M. Buys,* MD, FRCSC

15 Baerveldt Glaucoma Implant in the Ciliary Sulcus Midterm Follow-up Tiago Santos Prata, MD,* Anish Mehta, BA,* Carlos Gustavo V. De Moraes, MD,* Celso Tello, MD,* Jeffrey Liebmann, MD,* and Robert Ritch, MD* Retrospective, noncomparative, interventional case series 17 eyes of 17 patients with sulcus Baerveldt tube Pseudophakic (16/17) or CE done at time of tube placement (1/17) Technique- tube bevel up with 1/2 of bevel-up sector within pupil Collected data on: Pre- and post-op IOP # of antiglaucoma medications Best-corrected visual acuity Surgical complications Any subsequent events or procedures 8/27/

16 Baerveldt Glaucoma Implant in the Ciliary Sulcus Midterm Follow-up Tiago Santos Prata, MD,* Anish Mehta, BA,* Carlos Gustavo V. De Moraes, MD,* Celso Tello, MD,* Jeffrey Liebmann, MD,* and Robert Ritch, MD* Results: Significant decrease in IOP and number of medications No difference in best-corrected VA Complications: iris occlusion of tube (1 patient) --> managed with chronic mydriasis chronic hypotony (1 patient) No evidence of cleft, iridodialysis, ciliary body detachment, tube rubbing against posterior surface of iris 8/27/

17 Ab Interno Sulcus Placement of Glaucoma Tube Implants Larissa Camejo, M.D., Robert Noecker, M.D., M.B.A Describes modified technique for sulcus placement of glaucoma silicone tubes in pseudophakia/aphakia pts Technique: Tube trimmed longer (4 mm anterior to limbus) Bevel of tube faces down and away from iris Beveling the tube down allows for the open and tapered tip of the tube to be away from the iris, avoiding pigment dispersion or tube occlusion with the iris Healon GV injected into sulcus 23G needle sclerotomy created by passing needle posterior to iris Tube inserted into sclerotomy AC cannula can confirm free positioning of tube s tip in sulcus 8/27/
