  Purpose: To compare Intraocular Pressure (IOP) control and complications associated with the non-staged, complete Baerveldt implantation (CBVI) vs. two-stage Baerveldt implantation (SBVI) in patients with advanced glaucoma. Design: Retrospective, comparative, parallel group, interventional study. Subjects: Sixty-seven eyes that underwent CBVI were matched with 66 eyes that underwent SBVI based on glaucoma diagnosis and age. Methods: The study included a 24-month follow-up of 67 eyes that underwent CBVI with temporary ligature vs. 66 eyes that underwent SBVI for advanced glaucoma. Main Outcome Measures: The criterion for surgical success was reduction of IOP of greater than or equal to 20% from baseline, with postoperative IOP from 6 mmHg to 21 mmHg on two or more consecutiv..
