A prospective, multicenter research study is under way to demonstrate long-term improvement in chronic rhinosinusitis symptoms after transantral balloon dilation of the ethmoid infundibulum. Trial results from an interim analysis of symptomatic status using the Sino-Nasal Outcome Test 20 survey demonstrate significant and sustained improvement through post-procedure 1-year follow-up. Additionally, these data provide evidence that the symptomatic improvements following balloon expansion within the ostiomeatal unit to treat medically refractory inflammation of the maxillary sinuses, either alone or with concomitant anterior ethmoid disease, are similar.
一项前瞻性多中心研究正在进行，以证明筛漏斗经鼻窦球囊扩张术后慢性鼻窦炎症状的长期改善情况。使用鼻窦结局测试20问卷对症状状态进行中期分析的试验结果表明，在术后1年的随访中症状有显著且持续的改善。此外，这些数据提供了证据，表明在窦口鼻道复合体进行球囊扩张以治疗上颌窦药物难治性炎症（单独或伴有前筛窦疾病）后，症状改善情况相似。
