The use of balloon guide catheters during venous sinus stenting:
- Venous sinus stenting (VSS) with a balloon guide catheter (BGC) is effective for treating pulsatile tinnitus and idiopathic intracranial hypertension, involving 22 patients over three months with no complications.
- BGC was essential for navigating and stenting in challenging sinus areas, with the balloon inflated 23 times to assist passage and anchoring.
- The study supports the safety and utility of BGC in managing the unique difficulties of VSS.
