title: [Interventional treatment of dural arteriovenous fistula].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To summarize the characteristics of interventional treatment of dural arteriovenous fistulae (DAVFs) and improve clinical curative effects.
  
  
  METHODS
  The clinical data from 135 patients with DAVFs were analyzed retrospectively.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Seventy-four patients were cured, 53 were significantly improved, 8 unchange, and 1 died of intracranial haemorrhage.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Clinical presentations and prognosis of DAVF depend on the types of venous drainage. Compression of the affected carotid artery and endovascular embolization are safe and effective.
