MRI of the Ex-PRESS stainless steel glaucoma drainage device.
AIM To evaluate the magnetic properties of the Ex-PRESS stainless steel glaucoma drainage device during MRI. DESIGN Experimental study. METHODS The Ex-PRESS glaucoma drainage device (316L stainless steel) was examined for magnetic field interactions under standard 1.5, 3.0, and 4.7 T MRI scanning protocols. Testing included measurements of translational and rotational motion of the device i...
متن کاملDimensional and Flow Properties of the EX-PRESS Glaucoma Drainage Device
We read with interest the article by Sheybani et al. demonstrating the assessment of fluid dynamics and flow control between the XEN 45 microfistula implant (AqueSys, Aliso Viejo, CA, USA), EX-PRESS implant (Alcon Laboratories, Inc., Fort Worth, TX, USA), and silicone tubing from a Baerveldt implant (Abbott Medical Optics, Abbott Park, IL, USA). The authors demonstrated that the Hagen-Poiseuill...

متن کاملEx-PRESS Glaucoma Filtration Device: Theory, Technique and Results
The Ex-PRESS glaucoma filtration device (Alcon Laboratories, Fort Worth, TX , USA) is designed to drain aqueous fluid from the anterior chamber to the subconjunctival space and form a filtration bleb, akin to a trabeculectomy. In this article we will review the surgical indications, preoperative evaluation, surgical techniques and postoperative considerations of this ophthalmic device. J Emmetr...
متن کاملEX-PRESS Glaucoma Filtration Device: efficacy, safety, and predictability
Trabeculectomy has been the traditional primary surgical therapy for open-angle glaucoma. While trabeculectomy is effective in lowering intraocular pressure, complications associated with the procedure have motivated the development of alternative techniques and devices, including the EX-PRESS Glaucoma Filtration Device. This review describes the efficacy, safety, complication rates, and potent...
