Three adverse events of special interest (AESI) were observed hypotonic maculopathy, anterior chamber inflammation with pupillary membranes, and macular edema. None of these events was related to the SST shunt. Other complications such as intra and early postoperative hyphema in 3 and tube-iris contact causing slight corectopia in 2 cases were noted.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The surgical technique and device studied in this work demonstrated a good safety profile and signal of efficacy.
