 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 13 Mitomycin C combined Ahmed glaucoma valve implantation for refractory glaucoma in the long-term efficacy Of: Wu Yu Yu, Shu-end, Hong Yu, Yeke Jing, Xu exercise [Abstract] Objective To evaluate the mitomycin C (MMC joint Ahmed glaucoma valve (AGV implantation for refractory glaucoma in the long-term efficacy of prevention and treatment of surgical complications. Methods MMC AGV implantation for refractory joint glaucoma in 32 patients (32 eyes of 54 patients followed up 3 months. Results from preoperative IOP (47.5 + -7.32) mmHg decreased to (17.73 + -6.21) mmHg, total effective rate was 84.38%. early complications of surgery as shallow anterior chamber, hypotony, anterior chamber does not occur but disappear after 7 ~ 8 d automatically deepen the anterior chamber. in the long-term complications due to the pupil round, disc over-week package. Conclusion MMC is the joint AGV implantation better treatment of refractory glaucoma surgical techniques, complications less than those without drain valve, after timely and effective treatment will improve the success rate of surgery. [Keywords:] glaucoma drainage glaucoma mitomycin implant treatment outcome of complications after surgery Implementation of conventional glaucoma filtration surgery, is often difficult to establish an effective filtration channel, resulting in elevated intraocular pressure again, is more difficult clinical problem. Since the invention of Molteno glaucoma drainage implants since the treatment of breakthrough progress. With the combination of anti-metabolism drugs, artificial drainage devices in continuous improvement and the improvement of surgical techniques, surgical success rate continues to increase. I used antimetabolites mitomycin C (MMC, mitomycinC United Ahmed valve (Ahmed glaucoma valve , AGV implantation for refractory glaucoma in 32 cases (32 eyes, and achieved good effect, are as follows. 1 Materials and Methods 1.1 General data collection
