What Is Venous Sinus Stenting?

Venous sinus stenting is a minimally invasive neuroendovascular procedure used to treat narrowed or obstructed venous sinuses in the brain that impair normal blood drainage. These venous outflow problems can lead to increased intracranial pressure and symptoms such as pulsatile tinnitus, headaches, and vision changes. At the Vascular and Neuroscience Institute of Southern California, venous sinus stenting is performed by experienced interventional neurologists using advanced imaging and precision techniques to restore healthy blood flow and relieve pressure within the brain.

What Neurological Conditions Can Venous Sinus Stenting Help?

Venous sinus stenting is recommended when venous narrowing is identified as the underlying cause of neurological symptoms. Conditions commonly treated include:

  • Pulsatile Tinnitus: Stenting corrects abnormal venous blood flow that causes rhythmic whooshing sounds in the ear.
  • Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH): Restores venous drainage to reduce elevated intracranial pressure and protect vision.
  • Chronic Headaches Related to Venous Outflow Obstruction: Improves cerebral circulation and reduces pressure-related pain.
  • Vision Changes from Raised Intracranial Pressure: Helps prevent progressive visual loss caused by venous sinus stenosis.
Seeking care from the best neurology center in Southern California often benefits patients from venous sinus stenting as a durable, minimally invasive solution.

What to Expect During a Venous Sinus Stenting Procedure

Venous sinus stenting is performed in a specialized angiography suite by a skilled interventional neurologist. Using a small catheter inserted through a vein, typically in the groin or wrist, the physician navigates to the affected venous sinus under real-time imaging guidance. A stent is then placed to widen the narrowed vessel and restore normal venous blood flow. The procedure typically requires a short hospital stay for monitoring, and most patients experience significant symptom improvement within days to weeks.
