 Similar to angioplasty for blocked blood vessels,
balloon sinuplasty involves the insertion of a tiny
balloon via a thin endoscope tube. As the balloon

obstructions, which include extremely thin bones.
A shaver-like microdebrider device may
additionally be employed in the removal of
growths of polyp tissue.
Safe and effective, balloon sinuplasty is quick and
painless, with approximately 80 percent of
patients achieving the desired nasal passage
clearing results.
