Résumé |
PURPOSE |
To assess corneal endothelial cell (CE) loss after pars plana (PP) and pars limbal (PL) insertion of a Baerveldt glaucoma implant (BGI).
DESIGN |
Retrospective multicenter interventional comparative study.
METHODS |
We studied central CE loss for 5 years after BGI surgery in 192 eyes.
RESULTS |
The prevalence of bullous keratopathy (BK) was greater in the PL cohort than in the PP cohort (P = .003). The CE loss after simultaneous PP vitrectomy and tube insertion into the vitreous cavity was 11.9% in the first year, which was greater than that of 2.9% in eyes where the tube was inserted simply into the vitreous cavity after a prior vitrectomy (P = .046). The annual percentage CE loss after the first year decreased unidirectionally in both of those groups and was 1.3% and 1.0% in the fifth year, respectively (P < .001). For limbal insertion, the CE loss in the simple PL cohort was biphasic, decreasing from 10.5% in the first year to 7.0% in the fifth year. Simultaneous cataract and BGI surgery enhanced the CE loss slightly in the first year in the PP and PL cohorts to 13.0% and 14.0%, respectively. However, these increases were not significant (P = .816 and .358, respectively). Low preoperative CE density (P < .001) and insertion site (P = .020) were significant risk factors for the development of BK.
CONCLUSIONS |
CE loss in the PL and PP cohorts was biphasic and unidirectional, respectively. The difference in annual CE loss became evident over time. PP tube implantation may be advantageous when the preoperative CE density is low.
