Abstract:
Dural arteriovenous fistulas are characterized by abnormal arteriovenous shunting localized to the pachymeninges. Fistulae venous drainage is essential to their classification, symptomatology, and treatment. Endovascular therapy is rapidly progressing to an adjunct or even alternative treatment to microsurgical resection. Several techniques, such as transarterial or transvenous embolization with metallic coils, NBCA, or Onyx, have been used successfully in several studies. The long-term clinical and radiographic outcomes of endovascular therapy for the treatment of dural arteriovenous fistulas are satisfactory, and future studies are underway for the refinement of these techniques.
