Article Synopsis
- A clinical study assessed the effectiveness of 3D CT-DCG-assisted and endoscopically guided coronary catheter balloon dacryoplasty (CC-BDCP) for adults with focal stenosis of the nasolacrimal duct (NLD), involving 25 patients in total.
- Out of the 25 patients, 21 underwent the CC-BDCP procedure, achieving a significant improvement in epiphora intensity and functional outcomes postoperatively, with overall scores significantly decreased from preoperative values.
- The overall success rate of the procedure was 77%, with 90% success in patients deemed "easy" to treat and 64% in those classified as "difficult," indicating varying outcomes based on procedural difficulty.
Canaloplasty is a surgical procedure that has undergone a number of developments since its introduction in 2005. Many thousands of canaloplasties have been performed around the world since then and is, by definition, a blebless procedure. It does not necessitate the use of any antifibrotic agents and results in safe and effective IOP reductions in patients with open-angle glaucoma (OAG) with minimal complications and no bleb-related adverse events.
