4 Dural AVFs Experimental Investigation Common carotid/external jugular anstamosis Dural AVFs only with sinus thrombosis J Neurosurg 80:884, 1994 J Neurosurg 83:539, 1995

5 Dural AVFs Experimental Investigation Dural AVFs with sinus thrombosis and venous hypertension Correlation with angiogenesis index Implied role in pathogenesis of vascular growth factors (VEGF) J Neurosurg 87:267, 1997

6 Dural Arteriovenous Fistulae Etiology Arteriovenous malformation affecting the transverse dural venous sinus - an aquired lesion Houser et al. Mayo Clin Proc 54:651, 1979

7 Dural Arteriovenous Fistulae Embolization Transarterial and/or Transvenous Symptom palliation Angiographic cure

8 Transvenous Embolization Venous access Indication for therapy 24 patients 4% perm morbidity 96% clinical cure Roy & Raymond Neurosurgery 40:1133, 1997

13 Surgical Disconnection: Work in Progress Norris J et al 1988- present, 141 patients with dural AVFs Surgical disconnection –35 Borden Grade III, 12 Borden Grade II All grade III patients disconnected had angiographic cure All Grade II lesions converted to Grade I with stable clinical follow-up

14 Dural Arteriovenous Fistulae: Radiation? case reports biological target target size eg thickness indication for therapy –time to cure vs natural history
