In recent years, transvenous dural venous sinus stent (DVSS) insertion has emerged as a potential therapy for resistant cases. However, there remains considerable uncertainty over the safety and efficacy of this procedure, in particular the incidence of intraprocedural and delayed complications and in the longevity of sinus patency, pressure gradient obliteration, and therapeutic clinical outcome. The aim of this study was to determine clinical, radiological, and manometric outcomes at 3\u20134 months after DVSS in this treated IIH cohort.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>METHODS<\/jats:title><jats:p>Clinical, radiographic, and manometric data before and 3\u20134 months after DVSS were reviewed in this single-center case series. All venographic and manometric procedures were performed under local anesthesia with the patient supine.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title><jats:p>Forty-one patients underwent DVSS venography\/manometry within 120 days. Sinus pressure reduction of between 11 and 15 mm Hg was achieved 3\u20134 months after DVSS compared with pre-stent baseline, regardless of whether the procedure was primary or secondary (after shunt surgery). Radiographic obliteration of anatomical stenosis correlating with reduction in pressure gradients was observed. The complication rate after DVSS was 4.9% and stent survival was 87.8% at 120 days. At least 20% of patients developed restenosis following DVSS and only 63.3% demonstrated an improvement or resolution of papilledema.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title><jats:p>Reduced venous sinus pressures were observed at 120 days after the procedure. DVSS showed lower complication rates than shunts, but the clinical outcome data were less convincing. To definitively compare the outcomes between DVSS and shunts in IIH, a randomized prospective study is needed.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3171\/2017.4.jns162871","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,10,6]],"date-time":"2017-10-06T13:59:10Z","timestamp":1507298350000},"page":"723-731","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":43,"title":["Idiopathic intracranial hypertension: 120-day clinical, radiological, and manometric outcomes after stent insertion into the dural venous sinus"],"prefix":"10.3171","volume":"129","author":[{"given":"Hasan","family":"Asif","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Claudia L.","family":"Craven","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Almas H.","family":"Siddiqui","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Syed N.","family":"Shah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Samir A.","family":"Matloob","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lewis","family":"Thorne","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fergus","family":"Robertson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Laurence D.","family":"Watkins","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ahmed K.","family":"Toma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1754","reference":[{"key":"b1","series-title":"Br J Neurosurg","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"94","DOI":"10.3109\/02688697.2010.544781","article-title":"Idiopathic intracranial hypertension: lumboperitoneal shunts versus ventriculoperitoneal shunts\u2014case series and literature review","volume":"25","author":"Abubaker K","year":"2011","unstructured":"Abubaker K, Ali Z, Raza K, Bolger C, Rawluk D, O\u2019Brien D: Idiopathic intracranial hypertension: lumboperitoneal shunts versus ventriculoperitoneal shunts\u2014case series and literature review.
