Evaluating Conscious Sedation Versus General Anesthesia for Venous Sinus Stenting for Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension and Implications for Outpatient Management: A Propensity Score–Matched Analysis
Technical safety and feasibility of VSS were comparable between CS vs GA cohorts. Although same-admission venography + VSS was associated with higher restenting rates, further stratification by fulminant vs nonfulminant presentations may optimize patient selection for same-admission procedures. Staging outpatient venography and outpatient VSS would be feasible and practical.
