Human pilot feasibility studies of three iterations of a SIBS-based glaucoma drainage microtube [7,8,9]. aAdvanced glaucoma cases, with about half of the eyes failing previous trabeculectomy. bQualified success was defined as IOP ≤ 21 mmHg with a ≥ 20% reduction in IOP from baseline, with or without glaucoma medication and with no further incisional procedure. cQualified success was defined as IOP ≤ 14 mmHg with a ≥ 20% reduction in IOP from baseline, with or without glaucoma medication and with no reoperation for glaucoma. dEleven of these patients had failed previous incisional procedures. ePreviously known as MIDI-Arrow and InnFocus MicroShunt. BL = baseline; IOP = intraocular pressure; MIDI = Miami InnFocus drainage implant; MMC = Mitomycin C; SIBS = poly (styrene-block-isobutylene-block-styrene). (Reprinted from Pinchuk L, et al.
