Journal ArticleDOI
Wound healing in glaucoma filtering surgery.
TL;DR: The process of wound healing after glaucoma filtering surgery is summarized and the scientific rationale of several surgical and pharmacologic techniques introduced to enhance success in eyes with poor surgical prognoses is elucidated.

5-Fluorouracil and Glaucoma Filtering Surgery: II. A Pilot Study
Dale K. Heuer,Richard K. Parrish,Michael G. Gressel,Elizabeth Hodapp,Paul F. Palmberg,Douglas R. Anderson +5 more
TL;DR: It seems that postoperative subconjunctival 5-FU increases the likelihood of achieving IOP control following filtering surgery in eyes with poor surgical prognoses; however, a randomized clinical trial is necessary to confirm this.

Initial clinical experience with the Ahmed Glaucoma Valve implant.
Anne L. Coleman,Richard A. Hill,M. Roy Wilson,Neil T. Choplin,Ronit Kotas-Neumann,Mae Tam,Jason Bacharach,William C. Panek +7 more
TL;DR: Although the 12-month success with the Ahmed Glaucoma Valve implant is similar to that reported for other drainage devices, the complications associated with overfiltration in the immediate postoperative period appear to be less frequent than with other valved drainage devices.
Journal ArticleDOI
A clinical study of the Ahmed glaucoma valve implant in advanced glaucoma.
Ramesh S. Ayyala,David Zurakowski,Jill A Smith,R Monshizadeh,Peter A. Netland,David W. Richards,William E. Layden +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated clinical outcomes and established the incidence and management of a hypertensive phase (defined as intraocular pressure [IOP] > 21 mmHg in the first 6 postoperative months) in patients with Ahmed glaucoma valve implant.

5-Fluorouracil and Glaucoma Filtering Surgery: III. Intermediate Follow-up of a Pilot Study
Dale K. Heuer,Richard K. Parrish,Michael G. Gressel,Elizabeth Hodapp,Daniel C. Desjardins,Gregory L. Skuta,Paul F. Palmberg,Juan A. Nevarez,Edward J. Rockwood +8 more
TL;DR: It is the authors' impression that postoperative subconjunctival 5-FU increases the likelihood of achieving IOP control after filtering surgery in eyes with poor surgical prognoses; however, a randomized clinical trial is necessary to confirm this impression.

Neovascularization of the iris (rubeosis iridis)
Samuel Gartner,Paul Henkind +1 more
TL;DR: This is a review of neovascularization of the iris and the neov vascular glaucoma that often follows.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neovascular Glaucoma Following Central Retinal Vein Obstruction
TL;DR: The risk of developing NVG was found to be approximately 60% in those eyes with extensive retinal ischemia and none of the 22 eyes with an ischemic CRVO treated with panretinal photocoagulation (PRP) prior to the onset of NVI developed NVG.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cyclocryotherapy in neovascular glaucoma.
TL;DR: To determine the long-term effects of cyclocryotherapy, a follow-up with a mean of 24.9 +/- 13.9 months was conducted in 50 eyes of 46 patients with neovascular glaucoma, finding all patients were comfortable except the three who required enucleation.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Effect of Pan-Retinal Photocoagulation on Rubeosis Iridis
TL;DR: Fifteen eyes of 11 patients with rubeosis iridis and angle neovascularization associated with retinal vascular disorders were treated with pan-retinal photocoagulation, and three eyes developed a few new abnormal iris and angle vessels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of panretinal photocoagulation on rubeosis iridis, angle neovascularization, and neovascular glaucoma.
TL;DR: It is suggested that eyes with proliferative retinopathy that received panretinal photocoagulation are less likely to develop rubeosis iridis, angle neovascularization, and probably neov vascular glaucoma, than those eyes not receiving pan retinal photocagulation.
