ABSTRACT
Objective:
To discuss the angioarchitectual characteristics of dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs) and its appropriate therapeutic strategies.Methods:
A total of 159 patients with DAVFs were retrospectively analyzed, including the clinical presentations, patterns of angioarchitecture. The appropriate therapeutic strategies, and the factors affecting the efficacy of treatmen were analyzed.Results:
The patients with DAVFs were treated with different approaches. Sixty-nine patients with their DAVFs were treated in the cavernous sinus area, including type I (n = 58) and type II (n = 11); 41 patients in the lateral sinus area, including type I (n = 26), type II (n = 14) and type III (n = 1); 13 patients in the superior sagittal sinus area, including type I (n = 1), type II (n = 2) and type III (n = 10); 20 in the tentorial area, and 7 in the skull base area were all type III. There were 9 patients with multiple DAVFs. The main therapeutic approaches used were endovascular treatment. Postoperative angiography demonstrated that 79 patients were cured, 71 improved, and 9 failed. Postoperative complications were found in 9 patients, among them 8 were cured or improved and 1 died.Conclusion:
The clinical presentation, treatment and prognosis depend upon the angioarchitecture, the location and the venous drainage patterns. Endovascular treatment is the first choice and chief therapeutic approach.
