Trattamento di fistola durale del seno sagittale superiore mediante stent venoso

Abstract

As it is difficult to obtain complete resolution of cerebral dural fistulae by arterial endovascular treatment, in our patient we opted for venous placement of a stent in the dural fistula in the superior sagittal sinus. This treatment was carried out after three sessions of embolization using acrylic glue.
