Abstract
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)-venous fistulas necessitate a comprehensive understanding of spinal venous anatomy for successful embolization.1 This video details the essential technical and anatomical nuances of CSF-venous fistula embolization at various spinal levels, including the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine. Precise microcatheter navigation, guided by a detailed understanding of spinal venous anatomy, is crucial for reaching the fistula site and successful treatment. Embolization typically focuses on the foraminal vein, paraspinal vein, and lateral epidural plexus, aiming to create a comprehensive liquid embolic plug.2 As experience with this procedure grows, continued refinement of techniques and exploration of optimal access routes will further enhance success rates.
期刊介绍:
Interventional Neuroradiology (INR) is a peer-reviewed clinical practice journal documenting the current state of interventional neuroradiology worldwide. INR publishes original clinical observations, descriptions of new techniques or procedures, case reports, and articles on the ethical and social aspects of related health care. Original research published in INR is related to the practice of interventional neuroradiology...
