The risks of postoperative complications (IOP elevation, post-DMEK glaucoma, graft rejection, and graft failure) in patients with pre-existing glaucoma are high. In particular, pre-existing filtrating surgery via GDD implantation-but not trabeculectomy-and DMEK after graft failure increase the risk of graft failure.
