Venous sinus stenting versus ventriculoperitoneal shunting for idiopathic intracranial hypertension: propensity score weighted, cost consequence analysis
While initial costs and clinical outcomes were similar, VPS was associated with higher complication rates, more revision related reoperations, and greater short term healthcare utilization. These findings suggest that VSS may provide a safer and more cost effective approach for patients with IIH who have failed medical therapy.
