Conditions

Chronic Sinusitis

Brief summary

A non-randomized, multi-center, prospective, clinical study intended to evaluate the safety and efficacy of balloon sinuplasty devices in pediatric patients with longstanding sinusitis following failed medical management.

Interventions

Inclusion criteria

1. Age \> 2 and \< 18 years 2. Both male and female patients eligible 3. Planned surgical intervention (i.e. endoscopic sinus surgery, adenoidectomy, sinus irrigation for obtaining a culture) recommended by PI, consented to by patient's legal guardian) 4. Longstanding sinusitis: \>3 mo symptoms OR 6 episodes/yr AND failed 2 courses antibiotics followed by positive CT scan

Exclusion criteria

1. Extensive previous sinonasal surgery in target ostia 2. Cystic fibrosis 3. Extensive sinonasal osteoneogenesis 4. Sinonasal tumors or obstructive lesions 5. History of facial trauma that distorts sinus anatomy and precludes access to the sinus ostium 6. Ciliary dysfunction 7. For female patients of childbearing age: the patient is either pregnant or lactating

Design outcomes

MeasureTime frameDescription
Safety: Device-related Adverse Events During Balloon Dilation Through 12 Months12 monthsNumber of device-related adverse events from time of procedure through 12 months post-procedure.
Effectiveness: Change in Sinus Symptom Scores (SN-5)12 monthsChange in sinus symptoms (mean reduction) for subjects less than 12 years of age evaluated using the SN-5 questionnaire at 52 weeks post-procedure compared to baseline. The maximum possible score for the SN-5 is seven and the minimum is one. A reduction in SN-5 score indicates improvement.
Effectiveness: Change in Sinus Symptom Scores (SNOT-20)12 monthsChange in sinus symptoms (mean reduction) for subjects 12 years of age or greater evaluated using the SNOT-20 questionnaire at 52 weeks post-procedure compared to baseline. The maximum possible score for the SNOT-20 is five and the minimum is zero. A reduction is SNOT-20 score indicates improvement.
