简要总结
The Ex-PRESS Glaucoma Filtration Device is a small, non-valved implant that was designed to lower intraocular pressure (IOP) by shunting aqueous humor from the anterior chamber into the subconjunctival space. The implant was developed in response to the need for more straightforward, standardized and safe surgical technique than standard filtration surgery. No iridectomy and no sclerectomy is needed if an Ex-PRESS device is implanted under a partial-thickness scleral flap. This may reduce surgical time and complications when compared to a standard trabeculectomy.
In some studies it has been found to be safe and effective with few complications, even in high-risk patients. No previous studies have compared filtration surgery with Ex-Press implant to deep sclerectomy.
详细描述
Hypothesis:
In combined procedure (cataract and filtering surgery), the effect of Ex-PRESS device has similar efficacy reducing intraocular pressure than non penetrant deep sclerectomy and with good level of safety.
Objective:
To evaluate and compare the efficacy and safety at 12 months of the filtering surgery with the Ex-PRESS device with that of deep sclerectomy.

入选标准
- •Diagnosis of open-angle glaucoma. Points a, b and c will be required:
- •Glaucomatous visual field. Defined as the field presenting at least:
- •A group of 3 or more points with p < 5% in the pattern deviation map AND
- •One of them with a p < 1% in the pattern deviation map AND
- •Repeated in at least 2 VF.
- •Glaucomatous optic nerve. Defined as the optic nerve observed in color photographs presenting:
- •Thinning of the neuroretinal rim that can be demonstrated by an alteration in the ISNT rule.
