All physicians received procedure training including the technique to shape the balloon device into the recommended 135\u00b0 maxillary configuration. Tissue dissection was prohibited. Canine fossa trephination and transantral endoscopy were used to evaluate cannulation and dilation outcomes. Physician operators were blinded to transantral images and results were documented by two observers.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Appropriate transnasal cannulation and dilation of natural maxillary sinus ostia occurred in 92.9% (39\/42) of attempts. Two failures emanated from procedural deviations. In one deviation, the bend angle was changed to 90\u00b0 and the device tip did not cannulate the ostium. In the second, the device was passed through a preexisting hole in the uncinate and cannulated the natural ostium. A third failure occurred when the device was passed through the fontanelle creating a false lumen.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Using recommended procedural techniques and a malleable-tipped balloon device, newly trained and experienced physicians alike can perform uncinate-preserving transnasal cannulation and dilation of the maxillary ostium with a high rate of success.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.2500\/ajra.2012.26.3852","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,12,25]],"date-time":"2012-12-25T01:51:58Z","timestamp":1356400318000},"page":"58-61","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Accuracy of Transnasal Cannulation and Dilation of the Maxillary Ostium in Cadavers with Intact Uncinates"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"27","author":[{"given":"David","family":"Brodner","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Sinus, Allergy and Sleep Wellness, Boynton Beach, Florida"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ian","family":"Alexander","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ENT Associates of Los Alamos, Los Alamos, New Mexico"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Stephen","family":"Chandler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Montgomery Otolaryngology Associates, Montgomery, Alabama"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jeffrey","family":"Cutler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Associates of Otolaryngology, Denver, Colorado"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kapil","family":"Saigal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ENT Associates of New York, New Hyde Park, New York"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,1,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-ajra.2012.26.3852","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.otohns.2007.02.006"},{"key":"bibr2-ajra.2012.26.3852","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.otot.2010.03.002"},{"key":"bibr3-ajra.2012.26.3852","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.otohns.2008.06.008"},{"key":"bibr4-ajra.2012.26.3852","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/000348940811700405"},{"key":"bibr5-ajra.2012.26.3852","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/alr.21024"},{"key":"bibr6-ajra.2012.26.3852","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/000348940611500407"},{"key":"bibr7-ajra.2012.26.3852","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/alr.20069"},{"key":"bibr8-ajra.2012.26.3852","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0194599811425885"},{"key":"bibr9-ajra.2012.26.3852","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2500\/ajra.2012.26.3763"},{"key":"bibr10-ajra.2012.26.3852","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/alr.20085"},{"key":"bibr11-ajra.2012.26.3852","first-page":"94","author":"Hall J.E.","year":"2011","journal-title":"Nasal cavity measurements using computed tomography scanning."},{"key":"bibr12-ajra.2012.26.3852","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archotol.1932.03570030095003"},{"key":"bibr13-ajra.2012.26.3852","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archotol.1939.00650050688005"},{"key":"bibr14-ajra.2012.26.3852","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2500\/ajra.2011.25.3647"},{"key":"bibr15-ajra.2012.26.3852","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00005537-200002010-00008"},{"key":"bibr16-ajra.2012.26.3852","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1258\/00222150360600869"}],"container-title":["American Journal of Rhinology &amp;
