Clinical indications and patient outcomes of intracranial venous sinus stenting beyond overt idiopathic intracranial hypertension: a scoping review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Intracranial venous sinus stenting (VSS) was initially developed as an alternative approach to addressing venous outflow obstruction in the context of idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH). In recent years, the technique has been increasingly used for other conditions involving venous compromise beyond overt IIH.
