This case series demonstrates the technical feasibility of 3/4-DMEK in eyes with pseudophakic bullous keratopathy in the presence of a GDD tube. The absence of a donor DM and donor cells above the silicone tube excludes direct tube contact with the graft. Longer term studies are needed to show the effect of this modified graft pattern and dimensions on transplant survival.
