Exact excerpt

A total of 45 eyes (22 BANG and 23 GATT) were included. At endpoint, in the BANG and GATT groups, mean IOPs were reduced by 16.0% and 22.44% (time-group analysis: p = 0.048), whereas medication was reduced by 6.22% and 69.78% (time-group analysis: p < 0.01), respectively. GATT eyes achieved higher rates of complete (55.0% vs. 4.5%) and qualified success (64.7% vs. 11.4%). Additional surgery was needed in 3 (13.63%) BANG eyes and 4 (18.18%) GATT eyes (p = 1.0).
