Dural sinus stenting is an increasingly recognized intervention for the treatment of lateral sinus stenosis. This procedure can be challenging in tortuous anatomy and in the presence of intraluminal septa because of poor trackability and crossability of long sheath commonly used for stenting. We report a technique using a pilot angioplasty balloon positioned at the distal end of the long sheath that improves its navigability in dural sinuses and facilitated the intervention.

通过先导球囊技术促进外侧硬膜窦中长鞘的通航性：技术说明

硬脑膜窦支架植入术是一种越来越被认可的治疗侧窦狭窄的干预措施。由于通常用于支架植入的长鞘的可追踪性和交叉性较差，因此在曲折的解剖结构和存在腔内隔膜的情况下，此过程可能具有挑战性。我们报告了一种使用位于长鞘远端的先导血管成形术球囊的技术，该球囊提高了其在硬脑膜窦中的可导航性并促进了干预。
