Re-Stenting Following Recurrence after Successful Venous Sinus Stenosis Stenting for Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

In medically refractory idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH), venous sinus stenosis (VSS) stenting has been an effective treatment modality. Among patients who experience recurrent symptoms and develop new stenosis, the optimal treatment strategy is unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of rescue re-stenting in patients with recurrence after prior successful stenting.

Methods

This was a single center, retrospective review from a prospectively maintained IIH registry. Between 2012 and 2023, patients who underwent interventions for confirmed IIH and angiographically demonstrable VSS were included. The cohort was divided into those who underwent a single stenting procedure (single stent group) and those who underwent re-stenting due to recur
