Comparative Analysis of Dural Venous Sinus Pressures, Gradients, and Dimensions in Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension Between Stented and Unstented Patients
With strict adherence to an 8 mm Hg pressure gradient threshold for stenting, 57% of 224 IIH patients did not receive stents. Stented patients had significant pressure gradients across the transverse-sigmoid junction. Stenting significantly improved headache symptoms, validating this approach to patient selection for VSS.
