Interv Neuroradiol. 2003 Mar 30;9(1):79-82. doi: 10.1177/159101990300900114. Epub 2004 Oct 22.

Abstract

Two patients with dural sinus stenosis of different causes presenting with refractory benign intracranial hypertension were confirmed by angiogram. Stent-assistant angioplasty was used to dilate the stenosed sinusesand led to prompt clinical improvement. Relative long-term followup showed good patency of the stented sinuses.
