The purpose of this study is to show clinically meaningful improvement in symptom severity after transnasal balloon dilation of the maxillary sinus outflow tract with or without balloon dilation of the frontal or sphenoid sinuses.
This is a prospective, non-randomized, single arm, post-approval study conducted under a common protocol designed to evaluate outcomes following trans-nasal balloon dilation of the maxillary sinus outflow tract with or without concurrent balloon dilation of the frontal or sphenoid sinuses and without any concomitant conventional sinus surgery (ie, uncinectomy, complete or partial ethmoidectomy).

Change in SNOT-20 Score
The 20-item Sino-Nasal Outcomes Test (SNOT-20) is a validated patient-reported outcome measure for assessing the presence and severity of symptoms of chronic rhinosinusitis. Symptoms on the SNOT-20 survey are each rated on a scale from 0 (no problem) to 5 (problem as bad as it can be) and the 20 symptom scores are averaged to provide a total score ranging from 0 to 5. The minimal clinically important difference in the SNOT-20 has been determined to be a reduction greater or equal to 0.8 in the total SNOT-20 score.

Number of Participants With Serious Device and/or Procedure-related Adverse Events
