Listen "Major complications of dural venous sinus stenting for idiopathic intracranial hypertension"

Episode Synopsis

Venous sinus stenting (VSS) is a safe, effective, and increasingly popular treatment option for selected patients with idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH). Serious complications associated with VSS are rarely reported.
In this podcast, JNIS Editor-in-Chief, Felipe C. Albuquerque, interviews Dr. Kyle Fargen, from the Department of Neurosurgery, Wake Forest University, Winston-Salem, North Carolina, about a case series in which serious complications after VSS were identified retrospectively from multicenter databases. The cases are reviewed and learning points regarding complication avoidance and management are presented in his paper (https://jnis.bmj.com/content/early/2021/04/27/neurintsurg-2021-017361).
