The presence of thrombotic associations (CVST and TSS occlusion) was associated with significantly lower clinical success rates in our cohort. Type II Cognard fistulas were significantly associated with the presence of CVST and TSS occlusion (<i>p</i> = 0.003 and <i>p</i> = 0.044 respectively) as well as lower clinical success as compared to type IV fistulas.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Our findings advocate for comprehensive recognition of thrombotic associations of DAVFs and their potential integration into classification systems to better determine prognostic outcomes. Large-scale multi-centre studies are required to validate these associations further and guide treatment strategies.</p>","PeriodicalId":94174,"journal":{"name":"Polish journal of radiology","volume":"90 ","pages":"e591-e601"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12825111/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146055661","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
