Complete Cure of Superior Sagittal Sinus Dural Arteriovenous Fistulas by Transvenous Embolization through the Thrombosed Sinus in a Single Therapeutic Session
Endovascular treatment often fails to completely eliminate dural arteriovenous fistulas (dural AVFs) involving the superior sagittal sinus (SSS). We report a successful case of dural AVF involving the SSS using transvenous embolization through the thrombosed sinus in a single therapeutic session.
