Balloon Sinuplasty
Balloon Sinuplasty is a safe and minimally invasive system used as a tool by surgeons when treating chronic sinusitis. Doctors thread a guide wire equipped with a tiny balloon into the nostrils and up to the area of blockage. They then inflate the balloon just enough to open the passageway. Sinuses are opened in the same way that doctors open up blocked arteries during balloon angioplasty.
