Balloon Sinuplasty, which is similar to balloon angioplasty used to "unclog" arteries of the heart, utilizes balloons in an attempt to expand the openings of the sinuses. This FDA approved technique has been found to be minimally invasive with a quicker recovery time than traditional sinus surgery. Balloon sinuplasty uses endoscopes (microscopic scopes placed into the nose) and catheter-based system to access the sinuses.
