Canaloplasty and trabeculotomy with the OMNI® surgical system in OAG with prior trabecular microbypass stenting.

Purpose: Evaluate effectiveness and safety outcomes for patients treated with canaloplasty and trabeculotomy previously treated with a trabecular microbypass stent (TBS). Methods: Retrospective, multicenter, IRB approved study. Patients treated with TBS (iStent/iStent inject, Glaukos) and subsequently with OMNI surgical system (OSS) (Sight Sciences). From 5 practices in 5 US states. Open-angle glaucoma (OAG), minimum 3 months follow-up after OSS surgery, Pre-OSS IOP ≥ 17 mmHg on ≥ 1 medication. No glaucoma procedures between TBS and OSS. Endpoints: proportion with ≥ 20% reduction in IOP, IOP between 6 and 18 mmHg, mean IOP, change in IOP, mean number of medications. Adverse events and secondary surgical interventions (SSI). Mann–Whitney rank sum test compared pre-OSS IOP and medications with follow-up. Results: Twenty seven patients. Average age (SD) 72.2 (10.8), 22/27 primary OAG (82%), mean MD − 6.2 (7.0) dB. Mean IOP before OSS 22.3 (4.3) mmHg on 2.2 (1.3) medications. At last follow-up (mean 11 months) IOP was 17.2 mmHg on 1.8 medications, − 5.1 mmHg (− 23%, p <.001), − 0.4 meds (− 18%, p =.193); ≥ 20% IOP reduction (41%), IOP ≤ 18 (56%). Adverse events were non-serious. Hyphema > 1 mm (3, 11%), BCVA decrease (4, 15%), IOP spike (2, 7%). SSI (4, 15%) had higher pre-OSS IOP (23.4 mmHg) and worse MD (− 9.6 dB). Conclusion: Patients uncontrolled by medication and a prior TBS would once have been candidates for trabeculectomy and tube shunts. OSS offered a minimally invasive option that provided IOP control and avoidance of traditional surgery for the majority over follow-up averaging 11 months and up to 42 months. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
