This study aimed to evaluate the 3-year long-term outcomes of primary Baerveldt glaucoma implant (BGI) surgery for neovascular glaucoma (NVG). We retrospectively evaluated 27 consecutive patients with NVG between November 2013 and November 2017. All the patients were treated with panretinal photocoagulation and pars plana vitrectomy before BGI surgery without anti-vascular endothelial growth factor treatment. The surgical success of the BGI was defined as an IOP of <22 mmHg and <5 mmHg with or without antiglaucoma medication. The outcomes were assessed on the basis of intraocular pressure (IOP), visual acuity, postoperative complications, and cumulative success rate. Except for 2 mortality cases, 25 eyes (92.6%) were followed up for 3 years. The mean IOPs (mmHg)/numbers of glaucoma medications ± standard error of the mean before and 12 and 36 months after BGI surgery were 41.6/4.6 ± 1.9/0.2, 14.8/2.2 ± 0.8/0.4 and 16.9/2.6 ± 1.1/0.3, respectively. In all of the follow-up time points, the postoperative mean IOP and number of glaucoma medications were statistically significantly lower than the preoperative values (analysis of variance, P < 0.001). At 3 years after surgery, the rates of visual acuity improvement (logMAR ≤ -0.3), invariance (-0.3 < logMAR < 0.3), and worsening (logMAR ≥ 0.3) were 56.0% (14/25 eyes), 24.0% (6/25 eyes), and 20.0% (5/25 eyes), respectively. The most common postoperative complications were hyphema (4 eyes, 14.8%) and vitreous hemorrhage (5 eyes, 18.5%), and serious complications such as expulsive hemorrhage, endophthalmitis, and tube/plate exposure did not occur. The cumulative probabilities of surgical success after the operation were 100% at 1 year, 85.2% at 2 years, and 77.4% at 3 years. In conclusion, combined non-valved pars plana tube placement in conjunction with vitrectomy was successful at lowering IOP with relatively low complication rates.
