Objective: Endovascular treatment (EVT) of spinal dural arteriovenous fistulae (SDAVF) has become increasingly popular given its less invasive nature. This study aims to assess radiological obliteration rates after surgery and EVT for SDAVF in a major tertiary referral centre serving a population of 2.2 million. Method: A retrospective review of all patients diagnosed with SDAVF between February 2010 and February 2018 was undertaken, identifying baseline demographics, treatment modality and the final radiological outcome (i.e., persistence of the SDAVF). Patients were identified from the departmental neurovas-cular database, clinical notes and imaging reports. Results: Twenty patients were identified with an angiographically confirmed SDAVF. Two (10%) were managed conservatively. Nine patients (45%) underwent EVT. Obliteration was achieved in one patient (11%) after a single procedure, while one patient required two sessions. Further surgery was required in five patients (56%) to achieve complete obliteration. Nine patients (45%) underwent surgical disconnection as first treatment. Obliteration was radiologically confirmed in eight patients (89%). No radiological (MRI or angiographic) follow-up data was available for two patients (one from each group) and these were excluded from analysis. In this study, the obliteration rate of SDAVF after surgery was superior compared to EVT (p <0.01). Conclusion: Complete obliteration and recurrence rates after single treatment with EVT were inferior compared to surgical intervention. EVT may be better suited for specific presentations of SDAVF either in isolation or as an adjunct in multi-modality treatment. A national registry of outcomes may aid ongoing refinement of patient selection for EVT. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
