CONCLUSIONS
Moderate-quality evidence shows that the trabecular micro bypass stent for glaucoma in patients with open-angle glaucoma associated to phakoemulsification as treatment for cataract has little benefit but it is statistically better than isolated phakoemulsification in reducing intraocular pressure and the number of topical drugs used for intraocular pressure management.
Very low-quality evidence does not allow estimating the usefulness of trabecular micro bypass stent used in isolation and not associated to phakoemulsification.
Some clinical practice guidelines consulted consider its indication in selected cases, especially in patients of difficult management, and in combination with phakoemulsification as treatment of cataracts with concomitant open-angle glaucoma.
Most coverage policies consulted from public and private sponsors from the United States and Europe cover this technology in cases of mild to moderate open-angle glaucoma not achieving good control despite topical drug treatment and in combination with phakoemulsification for the treatment of cataracts. The coverage policies consulted from Latin America do not mention it.
