Patients typically present with symptoms of autophony and aural\u00a0fullness. In patients requiring surgical intervention, a variety of different procedures have been demonstrated\u00a0(both transtympanic and endonasal), with limited success. Evidence of the effectiveness of a number of surgical interventions is limited to small case series only.<br \/>\nObjective(s): This paper describes a novel treatment for patulous Eustachian tube using a 3 mm VortX Diamond endovascular coil. Case report: A transnasal endoscopic approach was adopted, with cannulation of the Eustachian tube orifice using a Relieva sinus guide suction tube from a balloon sinuplasty set. The coil was\u00a0deployed 1.5 cm deep into the Eustachian tube. Post-operative imaging was used to confirm correct positioning.\u00a0Regular follow up was arranged. The patient reported complete resolution of her symptoms.<br \/>\nConclusion(s): The technique has so far proved highly effective and minimally invasive. It will be employed in\u00a0more patients to fully establish its effectiveness in treating patulous Eustachian tube.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Altmetrics<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"altmetric-embed\" data-badge-details=\"right\" data-badge-type=\"medium-donut\" data-pmid=\"29888685\" data-hide-no-mentions=\"true\"><\/div>\n<p><script type='text\/javascript' src='https:\/\/d1bxh8uas1mnw7.cloudfront.net\/assets\/embed.js'><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Type of publication: Journal article Author(s): *Jolly K.; *Darr A.; Chavda S.V.; Ahmed S.K.
