The Baerveldt-XEN disclosed a low complete success rate at 1 year of follow-up, although with no major safety concerns. While studies with a longer follow-up are needed to demonstrate the potential advantages and disadvantages of the Baerveldt-XEN, this technique may be less likely to achieve drop-free efficacy when compared to other flow-restrictor strategies.
