Neuroprotection in the Retina: From Preventing Inflammatory Cell Death to Promoting Vascular Stability in the Central Nervous System
Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of irreversible blindness worldwide. Glaucoma is defined clinically as the presence of optic nerve head (ONH) degeneration and progressive loss of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). Intra-ocular pressure (IOP) has been con ...
EPFL2024A new self-adjustable glaucoma valve
Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Stéphane Bigler, Julien Maxime Gerber, Soroush Rafiei
Introduction: Glaucoma, the leading cause of irreversible blindness globally, affects more than 70 million people across the world. When initial treatments prove ineffective, especially for cases with high intraocular pressure (IOP), the preferred approach ...
Frontiers Media Sa2024Outcome and Complications of Combined Modified Deep Sclerectomy and Trabeculectomy for Surgical Management of Glaucoma: A Pilot Study
Purpose: To report the outcome and complications of a combined surgical technique of modified deep sclerectomy and trabeculectomy (mDST) for glaucoma. Patients and Methods: Retrospective study of 44 eyes of 43 patients with open and closed angle glaucoma w ...
DOVE MEDICAL PRESS LTD2020Initial Clinical Results of the eyeWatch: a New Adjustable Glaucoma Drainage Device Used in Refractory Glaucoma Surgery
Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, André Mermoud, Sylvain Roy, Adan Villamarin, Stéphane Bigler, Constantinos Stergiopulos
Precis: In this study, we report clinical results after implantation of an adjustable glaucoma drainage device. The intraocular pressure (IOP) profile was efficiently controlled postoperatively as the resistance to aqueous humor outflow was finely adjusted ...
LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS2019Apparatus and methods for treating excess intraocular fluid
Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Stéphane Bigler
An ocular drainage system is provided for treating diseases that produce elevated intraocular pressures, such as glaucoma, wherein the system includes an implantable device and an external control unit, the implantable device includes a non-invasively adju ...
2017JNK Inhibition Reduced Retinal Ganglion Cell Death after Ischemia/Reperfusion In Vivo and after Hypoxia In Vitro
Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) are key regulators that have been linked to cell survival and death. Among the main classes of MAPKs, c-jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) has been shown to mediate cell stress responses associated with apoptosis. In Vitr ...
Springer Int Publishing Ag2016Eyewatch, an Innovative Adjustable GDD for the Treatment of Glaucoma - in Vivo Results
Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, André Mermoud, Sylvain Roy, Adan Villamarin, Stéphane Bigler
PURPOSE: To report the in vivo results of a continuously adjustable glaucoma drainage device (GDD) in glaucoma surgery with rabbits. METHODS: Under general anesthesia, the AGDD was implanted on 12 white New-Zealand rabbits for duration of 6 months. The adj ...
Springer2016Results of CO2 Laser-assisted Deep Sclerectomy as Compared With Conventional Deep Sclerectomy
Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of CO2 laser-assisted sclerectomy surgery (CLASS) compared with classic nonpenetrating deep sclerectomy (NPDS) with implant in medically uncontrolled glaucoma patients. Materials and Methods: Patients who underwent primary ...
Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins2016In Vivo Testing of a Novel Adjustable Glaucoma Drainage Device
Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, André Mermoud, Sylvain Roy, Adan Villamarin, Stéphane Bigler
PURPOSE. We report on the in vivo testing of a novel noninvasively adjustable glaucoma drainage device (AGDD), which features an adjustable outflow resistance, and assess the safety and efficiency of this implant. METHODS. Under general anesthesia, the AGD ...
Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology2014A New Noninvasively Adjustable Glaucoma Drainage Device
Glaucoma is an irreversible disease affecting the eye, leading to progressive loss of vision and eventually to total blindness. It is often related to high intraocular pressure (IOP), which results from increased outflow resistance to aqueous humor. The fi ...
