PURPOSE: To retrospectively assess the histopathological particularities of explanted CyPass® Micro-Stent of patients with significant loss of endothelial cell density.
METHODS: This is a case series of fourteen eyes from eleven patients who underwent CyPass® Micro-Stent implantation due to mild to moderate glaucoma and who subsequently suffered from loss of endothelial cell density. Therefore, the explantation of the device was necessary. In addition to the retrospective evaluation of the intraocular pressure and the endothelial cell density at the time of implantation and explantation, every surgically removed implant was histologically examined and evaluated.
RESULTS: Fourteen eyes of eleven patients were in total analysed. The patients-seven males and four females-had a mean age of 62.9 years. The average time between CyPass implantation and explantation was 3.7 years. Eight patients suffered from primary-open-angle glaucoma (POAG), while two patients had a pseudoexfoliation glaucoma (PXG) and one patient had low-pressure glaucoma. Ten of the patients were already pseudophakic before the CyPass implantation and four patients underwent previously glaucoma interventions. There was a significant reduction in the intraocular pressure from 18.57 ± 5.27 mmHg at the time of implantation to 14.78 ± 3.32 mmHg at the time of explantation (p = 0.037). The average endothelial cell density decreased from 1843.67 ± 421.81 to 932.92 ± 412.86/mm2 at the time of explantation (p < 0.01). The histological findings showed a fibrous obliteration of the CyPass accompanied by a chronic granulomatous inflammation with giant cell macrophages. Histologically, these findings were consistent with a foreign body granuloma.
CONCLUSIONS: Implants made of polyimides such as the CyPass® Micro-Stent are considered to be biocompatible, but there is no guarantee not to be obliterated or encapsulated. This is the first case series that has detected a foreign body granuloma in multiple eyes after CyPass implantation. However, there is no connection with the type of glaucoma, the extent of previous operations or with the presence of a prolonged postoperative inflammatory reaction.
