Preliminary experience with onyx embolization for the treatment of intracranial dural arteriovenous fistulas.
Onyx was recently approved for the treatment of pial arteriovenous malformations, but its use to treat dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs) is not yet well established. We now report on the treatment of intracranial DAVFs using this nonadhesive liquid embolic agent. ⋯ In our experience, the endovascular treatment of intracranial DAVFs with Onyx is feasible, safe, and highly effective with a small recurrence rate in the short-term follow-up.
