IIH: Questions Answered

In this webinar, Dr. Y. Pierre Gobin and Dr. Brian M. Snelling discuss common IIH questions. 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.
