Stenting versus balloon angioplasty alone for idiopathic intracranial hypertension.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Stenting is a common approach for treating idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) and venous sinus stenosis (VSS). However, studies comparing stenting with balloon angioplasty alone are lacking. This study sought to compare the clinical efficacy of balloon angioplasty and stenting in the treatment of IIH and VSS.

Methods

In this single-center retrospective study, patients were divided into the following two groups: Group S, which comprised patients who underwent stenting with or without balloon angioplasty; and Group B, which comprised patients who underwent balloon angioplasty alone. From January 2018 to June 2023, the medical records of patients with IIH and VSS were evaluated to compare their postsurgical results and subsequent clinical outcomes.
