Transarterial and Transvenous Embolization of a Tentorial Dural Arteriovenous Fistula

Abstract

Various treatments of tentorial dural arteriovenous fistulas have been assessed, but there are only two pertinent literature reports on percutaneous transvenous coil embolization. We describe the case of a patient with tentorial dural arteriovenous fistula coiled transvenously.
