Abstract

The optimal endovascular management of high-grade dural arterial-venous fistulae (dAVF) can be technically challenging in cases where the involved venous sinus segment is inaccessible through the traditional percutaneous approach. In this report, we describe our experience with the transcranial endovascular approach for the treatment of a high-grade dAVF. We also provide a literature review of other reports of transcranial endovascular dAVF embolization. We propose that transcranial endovascular embolization of high-grade dAVF appears to be safe and effective in cases where the fistula is inaccessible to percutaneous routes alone.
