Patient No | LP OP cm H2O | Initial pressure gradient mm Hg | Pressure gradient after failure mm Hg | Number of restenting procedures (months after last stent placement) | Level of top of stents | Indication for restenting | Last pressure gradient (months after last stenting) mm Hg | Months free from papilledema after last stent placement |
