One-year Results of a Schlemm s Canal Microstent for IOP Reduction in Open Angle Glaucoma Thomas W. Samuelson, MD Minnesota Eye Consultants On Behalf of the HYDRUS I Investigators 1
Disclosures This study was sponsored by Ivantis, Inc. Dr. Samuelson, Professor Tetz, and Professor Pfeiffer are investigators and consultants to Ivantis.
Micro Invasive Glaucoma Surgery Hypotensive medications and trabeculoplasty remain the most common treatment options for IOP reduction for patients with mild to moderate disease MIGS therapies for OAG are a possible therapeutic option that would reduce medication dependency Most MIGS approaches are being tested in conjunction with cataract surgery As cataract surgery is known to lower IOP, contribution of the device alone to IOP reduction is not well understood The multi-center study examines the effect of a Schlemm s canal microstent for IOP lowering effect
HYDRUS Microstent Ab interno Schlemm s canal microstent Inlet provides path through trabecular meshwork Open window design prevents obstruction of collectors in Schlemm s Windows Inlet For investigational use only in the United States 4
Mechanism of Action 3 clock hours of scaffolding provides access for aqueous to multiple collector channels Device design provides true dilation of Schlemm s canal without obstructing collectors Hydrus 8mm Implant For investigational use only in the United States 5
Handheld Injector For investigational use only in the United States 6
Surgical Technique For investigational use only in the United States 7

Summary The HYDRUS MIGS procedure is a safe method for reducing IOP using an ab interno surgical approach. No device migration or tissue erosion through 12 months Absence of serious complications such as hypotony, corneal decompensation, or endophthalmitis The most common post operative complication is transient hyphema Significant reductions in IOP and medication use were observed from baseline levels through 12 months when the device was used alone or in combination with cataract surgery Median pressures and medication free pressure distribution suggests stability from 1 to 18 months post operative Multiple randomized, controlled studies are underway both within and outside the United States
