BACKGROUND: @entity50 ( @entity50 ) coil embolization is an efficient and safe method to manage cavernous sinus dural @entity2548 (CSDAVFs). However, some CSDAVFs may be associated with @entity432 making access difficult. The purpose of this study was to report our experience of transvenous embolization of the CSDAVF via @entity432 . METHODS: We reviewed the cases of 20 @entity1 who underwent transvenous embolization via @entity432 over a 6 year period. The study consisted of seven @entity1 and 13 @entity1 , ranging from 46 years to 78 years of age (mean, 60 years). We retrospectively analyzed the angioarchitecture of the CSDAVFs, the procedural time and the angiographic as well as the clinical outcomes after embolization. RESULTS: True occlusive @entity50 was found in 13 of the @entity1 , while patent @entity50 with compartment of the @entity50 -CS was demonstrated in the remaining seven @entity1 . The microcatheter was successfully navigated to the @entity292 site of the CS in 16 @entity1 (80%), while such navigation failed in four @entity1 following numerous attempts. The mean procedural times for truly occlusive @entity50 and for compartment of the @entity50 -CS were 111 minutes and 129 minutes, respectively. No recurrent @entity292 was observed on follow-up neuroimages. Three @entity1 had transient third or sixth @entity129 , and one @entity1 had perforation of the @entity50 leading to temporary @entity10 . The mean clinical follow-up period was 18 months. CONCLUSION: Angiographic occlusive @entity50 of CSDAVF may be related to true occlusion of @entity50 or patent @entity50 with compartment of the @entity50 -CS. There is no statistically significant difference in procedural times for these two different @entity292 anatomies. Transvenous embolization via @entity432 is a safe and effective method to manage CSDAVFs.
