P.119 Minimally invasive surgical disconnection of a spinal dural arteriovenous fistula with the use of intraoperative digital subtraction angiography
Abstract
Background:
Spinal dural arteriovenous fistulas (dAVF) are a significant but treatable cause of progressive myelopathy. The goal of treatment is disconnection of the fistula, which is often accomplished through an open surgical approach. We report two cases using a minimally invasive surgical (MIS) approach for dAVF ligation with intraoperative digital subtraction angiography (DSA) to confirm occlusion.
