Transarterial Embolization of Anterior Cranial Fossa Dural AVFs as a First-Line Approach: A Single-Center Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background and purpose

Endovascular treatment has been increasingly used for anterior cranial fossa dural AVFs. Evidence on the safety and efficacy of different endovascular treatment strategies is limited. We report clinical and angiographic outcomes of patients with anterior cranial fossa dural AVFs who underwent treatment using transarterial embolization with n-BCA as a first-line approach.

Materials and methods

Consecutive patients undergoing treatment for anterior cranial fossa dural AVFs at the Amsterdam University Medical Centers between 2010 and 2023 were retrospectively included. Transarterial embolization was used as a first-line approach, while transvenous treatment and surgery were used in cases of unsuccessful transarterial embolization. Treatment was eva
