What is it about?
Dural arteriovenous fistulas account for 10 to 15% of intracranial arteriovenous malformations. They are defined as malformations to short-circuits between dural and extracranial arteries with dural venous sinuses. Its presentation is in frequent and its management is a challenge in low- and middle-income countries where there are difficulties in accessing high quality technological tools.

Why is it important?
Endovascular management of intracranial dural arteriovenous fistulas can be a challenge. Endovascular treatment includes a transarterial or transvenous approach from the femoral artery or vein. There is little evidence on this subject, so it is necessary to carry out more studies to determine risk factors, intervention effects and medium- and long-term outcomes.
