Research Notes on Balloon Sinuplasty


Balloon sinuplasty is a surgical treatment for chronic sinusitis and nasal allergies. The procedure involves opening clogged nasal passages using a catheter with a balloon at the end. After insertion, the balloon is inflated, instantly returning the blocked sinus to normal function.1

Fast Facts:

  • Other names for balloon sinuplasty include catheter-based dilation of sinus ostia and functional endoscopic dilation of the sinuses.2
  • Balloon sinuplasty is considered a safe and minimally invasive procedure, done as an outpatient basis, with a shorter recovery time than traditional surgery.3
  • 37 million Americans are affected by sinusitis.3
