These data demonstrate that neuronavigation-guided cannulation of the foramen ovale can be executed both quickly and safely on an outpatient basis. Additionally, the use of CT with integrated neuronavigation technology provides superior visual-spatial information compared to conventional fluoroscopy, the process of CT scanning, object planning, and neuronavigation-guided intervention can be completed in the same locale, and its application is easy to master and has the potential to enhance procedure tolerability of awake patients.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
