Apparatus and method for surgical bypass of aqueous humor
摘要：
The invention provides minimally invasive microsurgical tools and methods to form an aqueous humor shunt or bypass for the treatment of glaucoma. The invention enables surgical creation of a tissue tract () within the tissues of the eye to directly connect a source of aqueous humor such as the anterior chamber (), to an ocular vein (). The tissue tract () from the vein () may be connected to any source of aqueous humor, including the anterior chamber (), an aqueous collector channel, Schlemm's canal (), or a drainage bleb. Since the aqueous humor passes directly into the venous system, the normal drainage process for aqueous humor is restored. Furthermore, the invention discloses devices and materials that can be implanted in the tissue tract to maintain the tissue space and fluid flow.
