Clinical Outcomes and Predictors of Precise Stent Placement in Patients with Isolated Pulsatile Tinnitus.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

There is no dedicated stent for isolated venous pulsatile tinnitus (IVPT). This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the the clinical outcomes and associated factors of Precise stent (Cordis) implantation in the management of IVPT.

Methods

We analyzed data from IVPT patients treated at our center between December 2009 and August 2024. Baseline characteristics, venous sinus morphology, endovascular techniques, clinical outcomes, and follow-up data were reviewed.

Results

Among 111 IVPT patients, 64 (57.7%) underwent cranial venous sinus stenting (CVSS) using the Precise stent, with 59 (92.2%) being women. IVPT resolved immediately after CVSS in all cases. Over a mean follow-up of 90.9 ± 42.7 months, 18 patients (28.1%) experienced postoperative headaches, all f
