Transverse venous sinus stenting versus cerebrospinal fluid shunting in idiopathic intracranial hypertension: a multi-institutional and multinational database study
Both TVS stenting and CSF shunting resulted in symptomatic improvement and reduced medication use in patients with IIH. However, stenting was associated with significantly lower treatment failure rates, fewer residual papilledema, headaches and visual symptoms, and reduced healthcare utilization. Persistent pulsatile tinnitus was more common following stenting.
