Long-term safety and efficacy of stenting on correcting internal jugular vein and cerebral venous sinus stenosis.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To compare the long-term safety and efficacy of stenting in correcting cerebral venous sinus stenosis (CVSS) and internal jugular venous stenosis (IJVS).

Methods

Patients confirmed with CVSS or IJVS by imaging were enrolled in this real-world study from 2014 through 2021. Clinical characteristics and long-term outcomes of these two diseases entities post-stenting were followed up and compared.

Results

Three hundred and nineteen patients were enrolled in this study, with a mean age of 48.83 years and a BMI of 25.08 on average. In which, 144 patients underwent stenting, the stenotic segments were corrected and the venous blood flow was restored immediately post-stenting. At 6.15 ± 1.67 days follow-up, significant improvement was observed in headache, tinnitus
