What is balloon Sinuplasty?

In this procedure, Dr. Schleimer uses a small, flexible balloon catheter to open up blocked sinus passages. The catheter is inserted through the nostrils and guided to the sinus opening. The balloon is then inflated, which widens the sinus passage, allowing better drainage and easier breathing.
