Clinical Outcomes of Intraluminal Stent Removal After PAUL® Glaucoma Implant Surgery
Removal of the prolene stent following PGI surgery effectively lowers IOP in the short term, with a moderate increase in IOP and need for pressure-lowering therapy over time. However, it can also lead to adverse outcomes, such as hypotony and suprachoroidal hemorrhage, especially in patients with systemic risk factors or those undergoing early removal.
