Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (3)
Incidences of Device-related or Procedure-related Complications
Through 12 months post-procedure
Patency of the Treated Area as Verified by CT Scan
Post-procedure Patency was assessed using a CT scan 3 months post-procedure. The osteomeatal complex was assessed for patency by physicians.
Post-treatment at 3 months
Symptomatic Score Change- Sinonasal Outcome (SNOT) 20 Score Improvement
Symptomatic change in SNOT 20 scores on a 5-point Likert scale where "0" = no problem to "5" = problem as bad as it can be were calculated. Baseline scores and 12 month post-procedure follow-up scores were calculated and compared. A score reduction of at least 0.8 (-0.8) from baseline to 12 months is considered statistically significant and clinically impactful.
Post-treatment through 12 months
