Neuroendovascular Surgery Techniques for Fellows-Angiographic Evluation and Endovascular Treatment of Dural Arteriovenous Fistulae

Angiographic Evluation and Endovascular Treatment of Dural Arteriovenous Fistulae

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In the video, the speaker discusses the evaluation and treatment of dural fistulas. He describes the challenges in identifying and understanding the anatomy of dural fistulas, compared to other cerebrovascular lesions. He emphasizes the importance of a complete six-vessel cerebral angiogram in evaluating dural fistulas and identifying the arterial feeders and venous outflows of the fistula pouch. The speaker also discusses the techniques used in treating dural fistulas, such as transarterial embolization with coils and liquid embolic agents like Onyx. He explains the potential risks and considerations involved in the different treatment approaches. The speaker presents two case studies to illustrate the evaluation and treatment of dural fistulas. He highlights the need for careful analysis of the anatomy and venous outflow before embarking on treatment. The speaker concludes by emphasizing the importance of understanding the complex anatomy of dural fistulas in order to successfully treat them.
