Abstract

Here we present a case of intermittent bleb leakage with increased intraocular pressure (IOP) during recovery periods that was treated with gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy (GATT) combined with avascular bleb excision. A 60-year-old woman exhibiting simultaneous leaking bleb and glaucoma underwent GATT and bleb revision. At her final visit, the bleb leakage had resolved and IOP was under control without any further antiglaucoma medication. GATT may be useful for glaucoma patients exhibiting intermittent bleb leakage after failed trabeculectomy.
