Stopped: Study closed due to positive interim results.
There have been few published studies that examine the efficacy and safety of endovascular treatments on patients with pulsatile tinnitus with venous stenosis. Despite the limited experience with venous sinus stenting to treat pulsatile tinnitus, preliminary results show that venous sinus stenting could represent a viable alternative for refractory pulsatile tinnitus patients with venous sinus stenosis. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of this procedure in a controlled fashion, using strict inclusion and exclusion criteria, and long-term clinical and imaging follow-up. The investigators hope to provide robust data regarding the safety and efficacy of venous sinus stenting for patients with pulsatile tinnitus.
