Digital subtraction sialography and balloon catheter techniques successfully treated parotid duct obstructions and calculi in 5 patients. These minimally invasive interventional methods yielded good technical outcomes for all cases.

Area of Science:

  • Interventional Radiology
  • Sialology
  • Otolaryngology

Background:

  • Parotid duct pathology, including stenoses and calculi, can cause significant discomfort and dysfunction.
  • Traditional treatment methods may be invasive or less effective for certain ductal issues.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of digital subtraction sialography and balloon catheter interventions for parotid duct pathology.
  • To describe the technical aspects and adaptations of interventional techniques used.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized digital subtraction imaging for sialography to visualize parotid duct anatomy.
  • Employed standard interventional techniques, primarily balloon catheters, for treatment.
  • Documented modifications to techniques to address specific patient challenges.

Main Results:

  • Successfully treated 5 patients with parotid duct pathology (3 stenoses, 2 calculi).
  • Achieved good technical results in all treated patients.
  • Demonstrated the feasibility of minimally invasive interventional approaches.

Conclusions:

  • Digital subtraction sialography combined with balloon catheter interventions is an effective treatment for parotid duct stenosis and calculi.
  • Interventional techniques can be successfully adapted to manage complex parotid duct pathologies.
  • Minimally invasive approaches offer good technical outcomes for patients with parotid duct issues.
