This operation requires the use of fluoroscopy to navigate the needle through the foramen ovale and to monitor balloon inflation and deflation. However, the level of radiation exposure for this technique has never been reported. Exposure data (fluoroscopy time in seconds and radiation dose in mGycm<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>) were collected during 17 procedures on 14 patients using the dose report provided by the digital interface of the fluoroscope.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The mean fluoroscopy time per patient was 62\u2005s, ranging from 102.9\u2005s to 44.9\u2005s, and
