T047 Ultrasonic circular cyclo coagulation in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma: a multicenter clinical trial

Purpose To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the Ultrasonic Circular Cyclo Coagulation (UC3) procedure in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). Methods Prospective multicenter clinical trial. 42 eyes of 42 patients with POAG, intraocular pressure (IOP) > 21 mmHg, an average of 1.65 failed previous surgeries and an average of 3.2 hypotensive medications were insonified with a probe comprising 6 piezoelectric transducers. 18 patients (group 1) were treated with a 4 seconds exposure time for each shot and 24 patients (group 2) with a 6 seconds exposure time. Follow-up visits were performed at 1 day, 1 week, 1, 2, 3, 6 and 12 months after. Results IOP was significantly reduced in …

Multicenter clinical trial of ultrasonic circular cyclo coagulation in patients with open-angle glaucoma: One year results

International audience; Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the Ultrasonic Circular Cyclo Coagulation (UC3) procedure with one year of follow-up. Methods: Prospective non comparative interventional clinical study performed in 9 French glaucoma centers. Fifty-two eyes of 52 patients with open-angle glaucoma, intraocular pressure (IOP) > 21 mmHg, an average of 1.7 failed previous surgeries and an average of 3.7 hypotensive medications were insonified with a therapy probe comprising 6 piezoelectric transducers. The 6 transducers were activated, 24 patients (group 1) were treated with a 4 seconds exposure time for each shot and 28 patients (group 2) with a 6 seconds exposure time. C…

A European Study of the Performance and Safety of MINIject in Patients With Medically Uncontrolled Open-angle Glaucoma (STAR-II)

Precis In this European study (STAR-II), MINIject, a novel, ab-interno, supraciliary MIGS device, effectively lowered intraocular pressure (IOP) and the need for IOP-lowering medications in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma. Purpose To evaluate the safety and performance of a minimally invasive supraciliary glaucoma drainage device (MINIject DO627, iSTAR Medical SA, Wavre, Belgium) for surgical treatment of primary open angle glaucoma in patients refractory to topical hypotensive medications. Methods In a prospective, interventional, single-arm, multi-center, European study (STAR-II), MINIject was successfully implanted in a standalone procedure in 29 of 31 patients in 8 sites in 3 …
