51 Executive Briefing: Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery Technology Ab-interno Canaloplasty: Key Treatment Steps STEP 1 Following cataract surgery, inject Miostat into the anterior chamber, followed by dispersive viscoelastic. Create side port for the iTrackTM microcatheter approximately 1 1/2 clock hours away from 3 o'clock (right eye) or 9 o'clock (left eye) position. Insert the primed iTrack™ into the anterior chamber. STEP 2 Entering at the temporal location, create a small horizontal inci- sion ~1mm-wide in the trabecular meshwork. (Note the posi- tion of iTrack™ above the modified Cystatome in the image pictured to the right.) STEP 3 Using MST retina forceps, feed iTrack™ into Schlemm's canal. Align iTrackTM flush to the trabecular meshwork. Follow prog- ress by observing the positional red light. Advance the tip of iTrack 360° to initial incision site. STEP 4 Slowly withdraw iTrack™ while steadily injecting viscoelastic. Once complete, remove hemorrhage from the incision site and all dispersive viscoelastic from the anterior chamber before re- pressurizing with BSS to 20 mmHg.
