Kahook Dual Blade Goniotomy in Chronic Primary Angle-Closure Glaucoma
Sponsor: Peking University People's Hospital
Summary
This prospective randomized controlled trial, conducted by the Ophthalmology Department of Peking University People's Hospital, aims to compare the intraocular pressure (IOP)-lowering efficacy and safety of two surgical regimens-phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implantation plus goniosynechialysis (PEI-GSL) and PEI-GSL combined with Kahook Dual Blade (KDB) ab interno goniotomy (PEI-GSL-KDB)-in 68 patients (34 eyes per group) with chronic primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) complicated by age-related cataract. All surgeries are performed by senior glaucoma specialists, with a 1-year follow-up for outcomes assessment. The primary outcome is the 12-month IOP control success rate (IOP ≤21 mmHg with a ≥20% reduction from baseline, with or without topical hypotensive medications), and secondary outcomes include intra- and post-operative complications and changes in peripheral anterior synechiae (PAS). Statistical analyses will use t-tests, chi-square tests, etc., with P\<0.05 considered statistically significant. The study is scheduled from January 2024 to December 2025, and preliminary research has confirmed the safety and efficacy of combined glaucoma-cataract surgeries, laying a solid foundation for this trial.

Kahook Dual Blade (KDB) goniotomy
he Kahook Dual Blade (KDB) is an ab interno device engineered to precisely excise a strip of diseased TM and the inner wall of Schlemm's canal.
phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implantation combined with goniosynechialysis
patients underwent standard phacoemulsification with IOL implantation, followed by GSL. Briefly, after the IOL was securely placed in the capsular bag, a cohesive ophthalmic viscosurgical device (OVD) was injected to deepen the anterior chamber and widen the iridocorneal angle. The patient's head was rotated approximately 30 to 45 degrees away from the surgeon, and the operating microscope was tilted toward the surgeon to optimize the visualization of the nasal angle. Under direct gonioscopic guidance using a surgical gonioprism, a blunt instrument (e.g., a cyclodialysis spatula or iris sweep) was used to apply gentle posterior and centripetal pressure to the peripheral iris.
