XEN‐augmented Baerveldt surgical success rate and comparison with the Ahmed Valve
Jorge Teixeira, Filipa; Sousa, David Cordeiro; Machado, Nuno Martins; Caiado, Filipa; Correia Barão, Rafael; Sens, Paula; Pinto, LuisPurpose: The Baerveldt-XEN technique is intended to reduce the risk of early hypotony after Baerveldt implant, while keeping a good long-term intra-ocular pressure (IOP) control. The aim of this study is to discuss the surgical success rate of the Baerveldt-XEN and compare it with the commercially available flow-restrictor device (Ahmed glaucoma valve - AGV). Methods: Single-centre, cohort study. Consecutive gl...
Giant cell arteritis with normal inflammatory markers : case report and review ...
Martins, Patrícia; Teixeira, Vítor; Jorge Teixeira, Filipa; Canastro, Mário; Palha, Ana; Fonseca, João Eurico; Ponte, CristinaGiant cell arteritis (GCA) is a granulomatous vasculitis involving large- and middle-sized arteries, with a predilection for cranial arteries. In this paper, we aim to describe a case of a biopsy- and ultrasound-proven GCA, presenting with anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (AION) and normal CRP and ESR at diagnosis and during follow-up, and to review the literature on GCA cases with low inflammatory markers, w...
