Anterior segment OCT for imaging PAUL® glaucoma implant patch grafts: a useful method for follow-up and risk management
Pericardial patch grafts tend to thin over time which can be assessed by AS-OCT, the latter proving to be a useful method to follow-up patients who undergo patch graft implantation during PGI surgery. This investigation could potentially help identify patients at risk of tube exposure which in turn could lead to modification of patient management. It could also possibly be used in future studies to find more suitable patch materials.
