Clinical and morphological evaluation of gold micro shunt after unsuccessful surgical treatment of patients with primary open-angle glaucoma
The cause of GMS removal from a right eye of a 70-year-old man was the decrease of endothelium from 2579 to 1685 cells mm−2 despite the lack of contact with GMS, and progression in the visual field was observed (MD=−3.49). IOP was 22.0 mm Hg (Ganfort) 28 months after the surgery. In the middle and distal part the GMS was surrounded by collagen-rich connective tissue capsule. The proximal, middle and distal portion channels were partially filled with dense amorphous protein masses ().
