Cutting-edge treatments - without the cutting!
In a brain with healthy blood vessels, blood continually enters and drains, and that balance allows the brain to maintain normal intracranial pressure.
Abnormal narrowing in the draining veins causes a buildup of pressure that can lead to pulsatile tinnitus, headache, and vision problems.
The insertion of a tiny stent can restore the blood vessel to normal width, allowing healthy draining and alleviating symptoms.
