This clip is an excerpt from Stephanie Chen, MD's IIH Practitioner Series webinar on Venous Manometry and IIH. Venous manometry can be a useful quantitative technique for confirming venous obstruction and for planning IIH treatment options. Learn from Dr. Stephanie Chen, MD—a neurosurgeon at the University of Washington—on strategic and tactical approaches to venous manometry for IIH. Her lecture was moderated by Visish Srinivasan, MD.
Disclaimer: As of this webinar, no stent has been approved by the FDA for use in the venous sinuses of the brain. Therefore, venous sinus stenting is currently performed with stents used off-label. Neither IIH-Hub nor Serenity Medical, Inc. endorse the off-label usage of stents. The views expressed in this video are those of the speakers alone.
