5 Key Takeaways

• 1

  The interventional valve-enhancing trabeculotomy (iVEnT) is a minimally invasive glaucoma surgery aimed at enhancing physiologic outflow.

• 2

  iVEnT preserves the intracanalicular structures of Schlemm’s canal, potentially improving pulsatile outflow through collector channels.

• 3

  The procedure utilizes specially designed microspatulas to create precise incisions in the trabecular meshwork while minimizing trauma.

• 4

  Early clinical results indicate that iVEnT significantly reduces intraocular pressure and decreases the need for glaucoma medications.

• 5

  The technique builds on previous advancements in glaucoma surgery, particularly the gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy (GATT).
