In the present study, we aim firstly to describe our protocol for venous BTO and secondly to report possible predictors for a positive BTO test.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>All consecutive PT patients undergoing BTO for the purpose of determining eligibility for venous neuro-intervention were included. We recommend BTO for patients when there is uncertainty in the association of the venous pathology identified on non-invasive cross-sectional imaging (CTV or MRV) and the patient's symptoms.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Between May 2016 and October 2022, we recorded 29 venous balloon test occlusions fulfilling our inclusions criteria. Over the 29 procedures scheduled, 8 finally did not lead to a successful balloon test occlusion. The main reason was that the patient did not hear the PT on the day the angiogram was performed. Two patients could not have the BTO due to difficulties in venous navigation. After BTO, only four patients of our cohort were scheduled for an endovascular treatment.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We describe a technique and present a single cohort of venous BTO in severe PT patients with unclear anatomical cause. This angiographic test was useful to exclude patients from endovascular surgery and discuss the most probable cause of the PT. Complexity of vascular PT should support a patient-based approach when discussing interventional treatment.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/15910199231178160","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,25]],"date-time":"2023-05-25T16:00:57Z","timestamp":1685030457000},"page":"646-651","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Venous balloon test occlusion for pulsatile tinnitus assessment: A clinical feasibility study"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"31","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4425-3849","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Guillaume","family":"Charbonnier","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"St Michael's Hospital Li Ka Shing Knowledge Institute"},{"name":"Universit\u00e9 de Franche-Comt\u00e9"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nicole Mariantonia","family":"Cancelliere","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"St Michael's Hospital Li Ka Shing Knowledge Institute"},{"name":"St Michael's Hospital"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3753-6189","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Arianna","family":"Rustici","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"St Michael's Hospital Li Ka Shing Knowledge Institute"},{"name":"University of Bologna"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2298-6574","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andr\u00e9","family":"Ara\u00fajo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"St Michael's Hospital Li Ka Shing Knowledge Institute"},{"name":"Centro Hospitalar de Vila Nova de Gaia Espinho EPE"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Irene","family":"Vanek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"St Michael's Hospital"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"John","family":"Rutka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Toronto Western Hospital"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jose Danilo","family":"Bengzon Diestro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"St Michael's Hospital Li Ka Shing Knowledge Institute"},{"name":"St Michael's Hospital"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tom","family":"Marotta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"St Michael's Hospital Li Ka Shing Knowledge Institute"},{"name":"St Michael's Hospital"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Julian","family":"Spears","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"St Michael's Hospital Li Ka Shing Knowledge Institute"},{"name":"St Michael's Hospital"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Vitor","family":"Mendes Pereira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"St Michael's Hospital Li Ka Shing Knowledge Institute"},{"name":"St Michael's Hospital"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(13)60142-7"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00405-021-07092-x"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.heares.2015.08.014"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/neurintsurg-2019-014725"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1148\/radiol.2021202584"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/neurintsurg-2020-016636"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jamaoto.2021.4470"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_9_2","first-page":"019259","article-title":"Cerebrovascular pulsatile tinnitus: causes, treatments, and outcomes in 164 patients with neuroangiographic correlation","volume":"2022","author":"Cummins DD","year":"2022","unstructured":"Cummins DD, Caton MT, Hemphill K, et al.
