www.AtlantaSinus.com The sinuses are a series of interconnected hollow spaces in the skull. Their walls are lined with mucus secreting membranes. Small hairs sweep the mucus out of the sinuses so that it can drain out through the nose. These mucus membranes may become infected or inflamed because of a cold or allergy and can swell up and block the nasal passages so that the fluid from the sinuses can't drain. Build up of fluid in the sinuses causes pressure and pain. Doctors call this sinusitis. Acute sinusitis comes on quickly and then leaves. With chronic sinusitis, people have symptoms virtually all of the time and take many courses of medication to treat the inflammation. Severe sinusitis may require surgical openings of the passageway with rigid steel instruments placed up through the nostril to remove bone and tissue blocking the drainage. Recently, a new less invasive technology called Balloon Sinuplasty has been introduced. Using this technology, a balloon catheter is delivered to the blocked passageway, and is gently inflated, widening the opening of the passageway. Thus allowing drainage and relief from the pain and pressure of the sinuses. Balloon Sinuplasty™ technology is an endoscopic, catheter-based system for patients suffering from sinusitis. The FDA-approved technology uses a small, flexible, sinus balloon catheter to open up blocked sinus passageways, restoring normal sinus drainage. When the sinus balloon is inflated, it gently restructures and widens ...
