Endovascular Treatment of a Grade IV Transverse Sinus Dural Arteriovenous Fistula by Sinus Recanalization, Angioplasty, and Stent Placement: Technical Case Report

Abstract

Recanalization of a chronically occluded dural venous sinus through a jugular approach is feasible. In addition to eradicating cerebral venous hypertension by reestablishing antegrade venous drainage, balloon angioplasty and stent deployment at the DAVF site produced complete closure of the fistula. This may prove to be a new therapeutic strategy for management of DAVF.
