dc.description.abstract | We evaluated bleb fluid images taken after Baerveldt glaucoma implantation. T2-weighted images of bleb fluid were scanned with 3 Tesla magnetic resonance imaging in 52 patients who had undergone tube-shunt surgery using the 350-mm2 endplate Baerveldt glaucoma implant; three-dimensional images were constructed from these images. Bleb fluid images were classified into either a layer of bleb fluid on either side of the endplate (double bleb layer group; n = 24) or one layer outside the endplate (single bleb layer group; n = 28). Despite there being no correlation between the bleb volume and the postoperative IOP (r = -0.080; P = 0.57), the double bleb layer group had significantly lower postoperative IOPs than the single bleb layer group (12.3 ± 3.8 mmHg vs. 14.7 ± 4.1 mmHg, respectively; P = 0.033). The single bleb layer was significantly related to higher numbers of prior intraocular surgeries (relative risk = 2.85; P = 0.0014). Formation of a layer of bleb fluid on either side of the endplate may have resulted in the lower postoperative IOPs after Baerveldt glaucoma implantation. Repeated intraocular surgery adversely affects formation of the double bleb layer. © 2017 The Author(s). | |
