Canaloplasty & Collector Channel Micro-Angiography
Peckar C
Warrington (UK)
The author describes the surgical procedure of Canaloplasty, for
open angle glaucoma. (Following Viscocanalostomy, Schlemm’s canal
is dilated with a micro-catheter though 360° (iScience i-Track )
and Proline suture(s) inserted into the canal under tension, where
possible. The technique of Collector Channel Micro-Angiography is
also described together with the potential problems of micro-catheterisation.
The possible mechanisms by which this technique
achieves a drop in intraocular pressure are also discussed.
