This trial will compare the two most common interventions performed in the UK and evaluate their clinical and cost-effectiveness.
The first is called cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunting and involves a procedure where a thin tube called a shunt is implanted in the body to drain brain fluid. The second is called dural venous sinus stenting (DVSS) and involves a procedure where a metallic mesh tube called a stent is implanted inside a brain blood vessel. Both procedures can preserve vision, but there is no strong evidence to support one over the other. Participants will have the same chance to be treated with CSF shunting or DVSS. The aim of the trial is to know which intervention is the most effective to save the vision and the most cost-effective.
