Transvenous embolization is effective in the treatment of an intracranial dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF). Retrograde venous access to the fistula may be limited by associated sinus thrombosis, as in the two cases here reported. Unusual curative access routes were performed: direct superior ophthalmic vein puncture and through a small craniectomy, packing the sinus with detachable coils. When traditional routes proved impossible, unusual access routes must be devised.

Dural arteriovenous fistulas involving the transverse-sigmoid sinus (T-S dAVFs) are sometimes isolated because this affected sinus is often thrombosed. It is difficult to perform to microcatheter cannulation to the isolated sinus through the thrombosed portion. We are now treating these T-S dAVFs by transfemoral transvenous embolization via the ipsilateral side even if the affected sinus is thrombosed and isolated or not. We use a triaxial system (6 Fr. guiding catheter / 4 Fr. diagnostic catheter / microcatheter) to emphasize the pushability and handling of the microcatheter. And we insert 4 Fr. Catheter into the affected sinus. So we can perform microcatheter cannulation into the isolated and affected sinus for treatment by coil embolization with various detachable coils.

Dural arteriovenous fistulas of the skull base commonly present with pulsatile tinnitus. In our experience, transvenous embolization of dural arteriovenous fistulas of the skull base represents a safe and effective treatment modality due to its precision in treatment of the site of convergence of all feeding arteries and the low risk of ischemic complications. We present a case of an adult patient who presented to our institution with pulsatile tinnitus several months following a motor vehicle accident. Cerebral angiography demonstrated a dural arteriovenous fistula at the junction of the posterior condylar vein and suboccipital venous plexus supplied by branches of the vertebral artery, occipital artery, and ascending pharyngeal artery. In this operative video we demonstrate this technique and provide an in-depth discussion of our treatment decision-making process and the anatomical considerations involved in treating this lesion.
