A method of treating a constricted sinus passageway of a patient includes traversing the canine fossa region of the patient so as to form a passageway in the sinus cavity. A cannula is positioned in the passageway. A visualization tool such as an endoscope is passed through a lumen or channel in the cannula to aid in visualization of the anatomical site of interest. A balloon dilation catheter is then deployed through or along the cannula so as to place the balloon within or across the constricted anatomical space (e.g., ostium). The balloon is then expanded so as to expand at least a portion of the constricted anatomical space. Alternative embodiments include the use of an optional guide wire and incorporating an endoscope lumen through the balloon dilation catheter.

L'invention porte sur un procédé de traitement d'un passage du sinus étranglé d'un patient. Ce procédé comprend la traversée de la région de la fosse canine du patient de façon à former un passage dans la cavité du sinus. Une canule est positionnée dans le passage. Un outil de visualisation, tel qu'un endoscope, est amené à passer à travers une lumière ou un canal dans la canule pour aider à visualiser le site anatomique d'intérêt. Un cathéter à dilatation de ballonnet est ensuite déployé à travers et le long de la canule de façon à placer le ballonnet à l'intérieur ou à travers l'espace anatomique étranglé (par exemple, ostium). Le ballonnet est ensuite dilaté de façon à étendre au moins une partie de l'espace anatomique étranglé. Des modes de réalisation alternatifs comprennent l'utilisation d'un câble de guidage facultatif et l'incorporation d'une lumière d'endoscope à travers le cathéter à dilatation de ballonnet.
