Also did u have c1 or just styloids removed?? :pray:t2:

One of the research papers TheDude posted mentions that stenting done alongside styloidectomies gives good results.

I am working on getting a new NVIR in Denver at a hospital not so overrun with COVID. Any treatment (balloon or st.ent in) will depend on pressure gradients at the time of the angiogram. Nothing has been done to my C1, both styloids have been removed

@justbreathe did you ever get stents?

No I did not
