Cerebral dural arteriovenous fistulas (dAVFs) are characterized by pathologic direct shunts between dural arteries and veins or a venous sinus, with the fistula point or zone located at the dural level. Most often they are found at the wall of the transverse sinus (50%), the cavernous sinus (16%), the superior sagittal sinus (8%), … more »

Over the past few decades, endovascular embolization has become the first-line treatment for a wide range of dural arteriovenous fistulas. Treatment of dural arteriovenous fistulas of the transverse and sigmoid sinuses by endovascular means offers a minimally invasive treatment approach; however, it is often challenging due to the anatomic complexity of the … more »
