Nasal endoscopy identified two distinct small openings in the inferior meatus leading to bilateral stenosed choanae (figure, D). Using an X-ray method called angiography, Yeung's group obtained a baseline picture of the arteries, classifying them as relatively smooth, irregular (with a modest amount of plaque) or stenosed (clogged with plaque). This allows physicians to steer the device into difficult to access or past significantly stenosed vessels. |
