 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 13 Ahmed glaucoma valve implantation of amniotic membrane in treatment of neovascular glaucoma Of: Isabelle Nie, Liu committed, in the hole Yang, Sha Qian, High Hall of the text [Abstract] Objective: To observe the amniotic membrane Ahmed glaucoma valve implantation in neovascular glaucoma and complications. Methods: 09 2008 01/2009 amniotic membrane combined Ahmed glaucoma valve implantation in 25 eyes of 25 cases and Ahmed glaucoma valve implantation alone 23 cases of 23 matching the age and the basic causes of the two groups were retrospectively compared. Results: The amniotic membrane group of Ahmed glaucoma valve implantation success rate of 96% at discharge, 88% success rate after 3mo, the success rate of 83% after 12mo. simple set of Ahmed glaucoma valve implantation success rate of 91% at discharge, postoperative 3mo success rate of 59%, 55% success rate after 12mo. two After long-term effects in the comparison group 2 test was significantly (P lt;0.05. Conclusion: The amniotic membrane Ahmed glaucoma valve implantation can be safe and effective treatment for neovascular glaucoma, especially in the long term effect on the excellent in a simple valve implantation. [Keywords:] glaucoma valve, neovascular glaucoma, amniotic membrane Abstract AIM: To observe the long term effect and complication of biological amnion combined with Ahmed glaucoma valve implanta tion on neovascular glaucoma.METHODS: This was a retrospective observational case series. Patients with neovascular glaucoma underwent either of the two procedures from Jan. 2008 Sept . 2009. Twenty five cases 25 eyes underwent biological amnion combined with Ahmed glaucoma valve implan tation, while twenty three cases 23 eyes underwent Ahmed glaucoma valve implantation.RESULTS: The success rate of biological amnion combined with Ahmed glaucoma valve implantation was 96% at the time of discharge from hospital and 88% 3 months later, 83% 12 months later; while the rate o
