Prcis: Our results suggest gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy (GATT) as an effective and safe option for the surgical management of open-angle glaucoma (OAG). Older age was the only risk factor for failure in our analysis.
Purpose: To report 12-month clinical outcomes, safety profile and success predictors of GATT in patients with OAG.
Patients And Methods: A retrospective study of patients (18 y old and above) with medically uncontrolled OAG who underwent GATT as a solo procedure or combined with phacoemulsification (PHACO-GATT) between January 2018 and January 2020. Success at 12 months (primary outcome) was defined as intraocular pressure (IOP) <15 mm Hg, with an IOP reduction of at least 20%, OR a reduction of at least 2 glaucoma medications, compared with baseline. Secondary outcomes were success predictors and safety parameters.
Results: A total of 73 eyes (GATT=38; PHACO-GATT=35) from 58 patients with a mean age of 54.8±11.6 years were included. Overall, after 12 months of follow-up, the mean IOP was reduced from 24.9±8.5 to 12.1±2.1 mm Hg (P<0.001). The mean number of glaucoma medications was reduced from 3.5±0.7 to 1.2±1.2 (P<0.001). The success rate was 87% at 12 months, with no significant differences between GATT (85%) and PHACO-GATT (91%) eyes (P=0.330). Age was the only factor significantly associated with surgical success (hazard ratio=1.35; P=0.012; after adjusting for preoperative IOP and number of glaucoma medications). Patients older than 60 years had a significant greater chance of failure (hazard ratio=10.96; P=0.026) compared with those younger than 60 years. The most common postoperative complication was transient hyphema (39%; median duration, 5 d). No sight-threatening adverse event was documented.
Conclusions: GATT was effective and safe at lowering IOP with or without cataract extraction in OAG. Patients 60 years or older had a higher risk of failure compared with those younger in age.

This retrospective, comparative, multicenter study aimed to evaluate the real-world outcomes and predictors of failure of Gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy (GATT) at 12 months in glaucoma patients. Predictors of failure of absolute success in bilateral cases (422 eyes of 308 patients) included pre-operative intraocular pressure (IOP; IRR = 1.02; p = 0.

Background: Trabeculectomy (TRAB) traditionally has been the gold-standard surgical treatment for primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), while gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy (GATT) is an emerging minimally invasive surgery used for the treatment of various open-angle glaucoma (OAG) types. In this study, we aimed to compare the efficacy and safety between GATT and TRAB for the treatment of POAG.
Methods: This cohort study included eyes with POAG that underwent a single GATT (30 eyes) or TRAB (34 eyes).

Introduction: This study investigates the short-term effects of prolene gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy (GATT) on anterior segment parameters and corneal endothelium in patients with open-angle glaucoma.
Methods: This retrospective study included 30 eyes from 30 patients who underwent GATT surgery. Demographic data, ophthalmological examination findings, and intraocular pressure (IOP) measurements using a Goldman applanation tonometer were recorded.

Purpose: This study aims to present a case involving intermittent bleeding from the iridocorneal angle following gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy (GATT) surgery, followed by the development of ghost cell glaucoma (GCG).
Methods: A 25-year-old man with a history of post-traumatic angle recession glaucoma underwent uneventful 360° GATT surgery.
Results: Two weeks after the surgery, while the reason for the incomplete resolution of hyphema remained unclear, intermittent bleeding from the iridocorneal angle and hemorrhage in the inferior vitreous were observed during the patient's follow-up examination.
