Balloon dilation:
Sinusitis
Across multiple studies, balloon sinus dilation has delivered statistically significant, clinically meaningful, and enduring sinusitis symptom relief.1 Published data shows balloon dilation of the frontal, sphenoid and maxillary/ethmoid infundibulum can be consistently and successfully performed by physicians in the office and the OR. And the REMODEL randomized controlled trial reported no statistically significant difference in revision rates between balloon dilation and FESS.
