Suture Stenting of a Tube Fenestration for Early Intraocular Pressure Control After Baerveldt Glaucoma Implant Surgery

Abstract

The use of a single, monofilament 10-0 polyglactin suture to stent a fenestration proximal to the occlusive ligature of a BGI tube is effective in controlling IOP in the early postoperative period. Hypotony-related complications were infrequent and resolved in all cases with in-office interventions.
