What is BET

Obstructive Eustachian tube dysfunction (OETD) is a common condition resulting from inadequate opening of the Eustachian tube (ET), a structure that is crucial in the ventilation pathway of the gas-filled middle ear. Balloon Eustachian tuboplasty (BET) is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that is increasingly being adopted as a treatment for OETD. Early clinical results appear to indicate that the procedure is an effective means to reduce symptoms and normalise middle ear pressure, in a condition where other medical and surgical interventions have been found ineffective.

Work Principle

The principle of dilatation to open an obstructed tube or orifice has been successfully applied for many years in blood vessels and other structures. However, the ET is a dynamic tubular structure that must remain closed at rest and open during paratubal muscle contraction. The part of the ET treated by BET is formed largely from a glandular soft tissue lining (mucosa and submucosa) and a cartilage skeleton, shaped like an inverted-J, that arches over the tube along its length.
