METHODS: This article describes and presents a technique for inserting the AGV tube into the posterior chamber using a guide-wire, in a total of 12 cases are reported. This procedure has been mostly applied in a group of pseudophakic patients who need AGV placement to control elevated IOP. In exceptional situations, this procedure was applied in pseudophakic patients previously with AGV tube implanted in the anterior chamber and with loss of endothelial cells or in phakic patients with previously implanted AGV anterior chamber tube, simultaneously to cataract surgery.
CONCLUSIONS: The purpose of these cases presentations attended at our service is to demonstrate the passage of the AGV silicone tube was performed with the aid of a guide wire.
方法:本文描述并介绍了一种使用导丝将AGV管插入后房的技术,总共报告了12例。此程序已主要应用于一组需要放置AGV以控制IOP升高的假晶状体患者。在特殊情况下,该方法适用于先前在前房植入AGV管并有内皮细胞丢失的假晶状体患者或先前植入AGV前房管的有晶状体患者,同时进行白内障手术。
结论:在我们的服务中参加的这些病例介绍的目的是证明AGV硅胶管的通过是在导丝的帮助下进行的。
