Endovascular treatment of vertebral arteriovenous fistula using an occlude
Abstract
The search for the optimal approach in the treatment of brachiocephalic arteriovenous fistulas is one of the current problems of neurosurgery and vascular surgery. It is important to note that the best prognosis requires timely diagnosis and the earliest possible dissection of the fistula. Also, the method of treatment should have the least negative consequences and a good clinical effect. Previously, surgeons used open surgical vessel ligation with great technical difficulties due to anatomical difficulties of access as well as bleeding. In recent decades, the endovascular approach to treatment has demonstrated advantages over open interventions. Despite the low traumaticity, there is a risk of complications such as untargeted vascular embolization, perioperative stroke, etc. In this article we demonstrate the experience of arterio-venous vertebral artery fistula dissection using an occluder.
