Event or Problem Description
The surgeon initially reported being unable to implant the istent due to patient anatomy that precluded implantation.Clinical follow-up was requested and on (b)(6) 2016 the surgeon provided the following additional event details.Implantation was not successful due to compromised visualization.During surgery, the istent was lost.The surgeon thoroughly performed i and a and was unable to visualize the istent with postoperative imaging.At the one month post-operation exam the patient complained of irritation likely due to iop lowering drops.The patients vision was reported to have improved and the iop had returned to baseline.The surgeon provided the following additional information to glaukos on 10/31/2016.The surgeon reported that they felt confident that the istent was successfully removed via i and a.The patient presented post-operatively with hyphema resulting in elevated iop.At the time of iop rise the patient was on more glaucoma medications compared to pre-operation.Due to the iop increase, the surgeon reported corneal edema, bcva loss greater than 2 lines compared to preoperative bcva (though both improved by the 1 week post-operative exam).The inflammation was treated with steroids, muro, artificial tears and cold compresses.The patient's iop is currently under control and their visual acuity has improved.The patient continues to complain of irritation.The adverse event was reported to have resolved with sequelae as the iop improved but the cornea still has diffuse pigment on endothelium.
