Key Points

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of GATT and hemi-GATT combined with phacoemulsification for treating open-angle glaucoma.
Retrospective case-control study design
Comparison between two surgical procedures: GATT and hemi-GATT
Inclusion of patients undergoing phacoemulsification
Both GATT and hemi-GATT procedures effectively decreased IOP
No significant difference in safety between the two strategies
Results suggest equivalence in efficacy for managing open-angle glaucoma with cataract surgery

Retrospective analysis shows GATT and hemi-GATT procedures effectively reduce IOP in open-angle glaucoma patients, implying similar safety profiles.

GATT and hemi-GATT with concomitant phacoemulsification cataract surgery are equally safe and effective procedures for decreasing IOP and NGM.
