ABSTRACT
Precise evaluation of the feeders, fistulous points, and draining veins plays a key role for successful embolization of intracranial dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVF). Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) is a gold standard diagnostic tool to assess the exact angioarchitecture of DAVFs. With the advent of new image postprocessing techniques, we lately have been able to apply image fusion techniques with two different image sets obtained with flat panel detector rotational angiography. This new technique can provide additional and better pretherapeutic information of DAVFs over the conventional 2D and 3D angiographies. In addition, it can be used during the endovascular treatment to help the accurate and precise navigation of the microcatheter and microguidwire inside the vessels and identify the proper location of microcatheter in the targeted shunting pouch. In this study, we briefly review the process of an image fusion technique and introduce our clinical application for treating DAVFs, especially focused on the transvenous embolization.
