Patients who underwent a pericardium patch graft for bleb repair after mitomycin C-enhanced deep sclerectomy experienced a statistically significant IOP increase and an increase in best corrected visual acuity 6 months after the procedure, according to a study.
Researchers evaluated a pericardium patch graft (Tutoplast) as an adjuvant to bleb repair or bleb reduction after nonpenetrating filtering surgery. The retrospective study included 15 eyes of 15 patients and evaluated BCVA, IOP, postoperative complications and number of anti-glaucoma medications at 1 week and 1, 3 and 6 months
