Glaucoma tube shunt surgery with repeat penetrating keratoplasty in an aphakic patient.
Glaucoma tube shunt surgery with repeat penetrating keratoplasty in an aphakic patient. American journal of ophthalmology case reports Chiang, B., Wai, K., Naranjo, A., Smith, S., Rose-Nussbaumer, J., Liu, W. W. 2024; 36: 102145Abstract
We present a complicated case of mixed mechanism glaucoma in the setting of failed corneal transplant and aphakia. The patient was a 54-year old male with HLA B27 uveitis and prior open globe injury. He was left aphakic after cataract extraction and had a subsequent corneal transplant for bullous keratopathy. Due to elevated intraocular pressure in the setting of a failed corneal graft, the decision was made to insert a pars plana tube shunt and perform repeat penetrating keratoplasty as a combined case with the glaucoma, cornea, and retina services. We illustrate the surgical steps and decision making and in this complex case.
