  • Title: Percutaneous transvenous coil embolization of a type 4 sagittal sinus dural arteriovenous fistula: case report.
    Author: Cloft HJ, Kallmes DF, Jensen JE, Dion JE.
    Journal: Neurosurgery; 1997 Nov; 41(5):1191-3; discussion 1193-4. PubMed ID: 9361076.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE AND IMPORTANCE: To present an alternative endovascular therapy for a Type 4 sagittal sinus dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF). CLINICAL PRESENTATION: A 74-year-old man presented with right facial paresthesias. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed an enlarged left parasagittal cortical vein adjacent to the superior sagittal sinus. Angiography demonstrated a Type 4 sagittal sinus DAVF. INTERVENTION: The DAVF was cured using percutaneous transvenous coil embolization. CONCLUSION: This case represents the first report in which a sagittal sinus DAVF was cured using a percutaneous transvenous endovascular approach.
