Balloon dilation procedure for chronic sinusitis.

<![CDATA[

Entellus Medical, a Minnesota-based medical technology company, announced today that results of two clinical research studies presented at the annual American Rhinologic Society meeting in San Francisco support the efficacy of Entellus Medical’s(TM) FinESS(TM) Sinus Treatment, a balloon dilation procedure for chronic sinusitis.

Dr. James Atkins presented the results from a prospective registry study of 155 patients who underwent balloon dilation with FinESS either as a standalone procedure or in combination with sinonasal surgical procedures. Ostial dilation of the maxillary sinuses was performed in all enrolled patients and each physician determined if additional surgical procedures such as septoplasty or endoscopic sinus surgery were also needed for a particular patient.

Data presented by Dr. Atkins showed that chronic and recurrent sinusitis patients treated with FinESS, either as a standalone procedure or in combination with sinonasal surgical procedures experienced a statistically significant and clinically meaningful 52% improvement in their sinus symptoms, significantly reduced post-procedure use of antibiotics, with balloon-only patients experiencing the largest decrease (71%), and significantly reduced the number of physician visits due to sinus problems through one-year follow-up.
