Aerin Medical Supports AAO-HNS Position Recognizing Nasal Valve Repair as a Distinct Procedure that Improves Nasal Obstruction Symptoms
The statement recognizes nasal valve repair as “a distinct surgical procedure that can improve nasal obstruction symptoms for appropriately selected patients.” The Academy notes that office-based techniques, including radiofrequency treatment, can stabilize the nasal valve, optimize nasal valve collapse (NVC) patient outcomes, and be performed either as a standalone procedure or in combination with other procedures to potentially avoid multiple surgeries.

New guidance from the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery notes that radiofrequency treatments can be used to stabilize the nasal valve and optimize nasal valve collapse (NVC) patient outcomes. - VivAer, a non-invasive technology developed by Aerin Medical, uses temperature-controlled radiofrequency energy to provide long-term relief from nasal obstruction caused by NVC.
- “Nasal airway obstruction is one of the primary reasons a patient visits an ENT physician, and we hope that this enables ENTs to treat nasal valve collapse with minimally invasive solutions when it contributes to nasal obstruction.”
