Abstract
Balloon dilation of the Eustachian tube (BDET) is an effective treatment of Eustachian tube dysfunction. This procedure can be performed under local anesthesia in the office. This article outlines the evolution of BDET under local anesthesia, describes the techniques of in-office BDET and provides an algorithm to identify suitable patients for this procedure.Entities:
