title: Endovascular management of intracranial dural arteriovenous fistulae.
abstract: Endovascular embolization is the primary therapeutic modality for intracranial dural arteriovenous fistulae. Based on access route, endovascular treatment can be schematically divided into transarterial, transvenous, combined, and direct/percutaneous approaches. Choice of access route and technique depends primarily on dural arteriovenous fistulae angioarchitecture, pattern of venous drainage, clinical presentation, and location. Individualized endovascular approaches result in a high degree of cure with a reasonably low complication rate.
