Embolization of a superior sagittal sinus dural arteriovenous fistula under intrasinus balloon protection: A case report.
Endovascular embolization has evolved to become the primary therapeutic option for dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs). While guaranteeing complete occlusion of the fistula orifice, the goal of DAVF embolization is also to ensure the patency of normal cerebral venous drainage. This paper describes a case of successful embolization of a complex DAVF in the superior sagittal sinus with a multistaged approach using a combination of transvenous and transarterial tactics. The strategies and techniques are discussed.
