Comparing the use of Tutopatch® pericardium with Tutoplast® fascia lata in the context of PAUL® glaucoma implant surgery: an anterior segment OCT study
This study shows that AS-OCT is a useful method for comparing different patch materials after PGI surgery. When comparing pericardium with fascia lata, the latter evidenced a slower rate of thickness reduction and was associated with less tube exposure.
