Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography Microstent Positioning

The goal of this observational study is to learn about the long-term results of glaucoma stent surgery in men and women 18 or older who have had cataract and microstent surgery in the past 2 years at the Moran Eye Center. The main questions the study aims to answer are: 1. How often are microstents mispositioned? 2. What effect does microstent positioning have on intraocular pressure after surgery? Participants will have a one-time clinic visit for an eye exam and Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) . From the eye exam and OCT, Researchers will assess and categorize the position of the microstents and assess the Schlemm's canal dilation. Researchers will review the participants' medical records to acquire 2-year data for the following: 1. Surgeon type and level of experience (resident, fellow, attending ophthalmologist) 2. Proportions of proper gonioscopic placement intraoperatively for each surgeon group 3. Effectiveness of surgery, based on change in intraocular pressure (IOP) from baseline medicated IOP, number of IOP-lowering medications the patient was able to discontinue, and rate of need for additional glaucoma surgery.

Spontaneous Dislocation and Adverse Events of a Prophylactic Pancreatic Stent

A multicenter, prospective, controlled randomized study to investigate the optimal duration of protective pancreatic stents after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). The primary endpoint is the complication rate that can be clinically attributed to the remaining pancreatic prosthesis or its removal in the study groups. Secondary endpoints are spontaneous removal of the pancreatic stent, length of hospital stay, rate of follow-up examinations per group, influencing factors, and a possible exploratory analysis.
