We aim to investigate the clinical characteristics of patients with dCCFs based on the endovascular treatment approach and assess angiographic and clinical outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A systematic review of the literature was performed. Data including number of patients, demographics, presenting clinical symptoms, etiology of fistula, Barrow classification, and embolization material were collected and evaluated.

Overall data was collected from 736 patients with 817 dCCFs. Transarterial approaches exhibit lower dCCF occlusion rates (75.6%) compared to transvenous techniques via the inferior petrosal sinus (88.1%). The transorbital approach via direct puncture or surgical cutdown offers a more direct path to the cavernous sinus, although with greater complications including risk of orbital hematoma. The direct transfacial vein approach, though limited, shows up to 100% occlusion rates and minimal complications.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We provide a comprehensive review of four main endovascular approaches for dCCFs. In summary, available endovascular treatment options for dCCFs have expanded and provide effective solutions with generally favorable outcomes. While the choice of approach depends on individual patient factors and technique availability, traditional transvenous procedures have emerged as the first-line endovascular treatment. There is growing, favorable literature on direct transorbital and transfacial approaches; however, more studies directly comparing these general transvenous options are necessary to refine treatment strategies.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/15910199241272595","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,8]],"date-time":"2024-08-08T04:03:16Z","timestamp":1723089796000},"page":"1714-1728","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Endovascular approaches for the treatment of dural carotid-cavernous fistulas: A systematic review"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"32","author":[{"given":"Edward S","family":"Harake","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Michigan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Edwin","family":"Nieblas-Bedolla","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Michigan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5854-5041","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zachary","family":"Wilseck","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Michigan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Neeraj","family":"Chaudhary","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Michigan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rocco A","family":"Armonda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"MedStar Georgetown University Hospital"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0789-4273","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Aditya S","family":"Pandey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Michigan"},{"name":"University of Michigan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6739-0793","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ehsan","family":"Dowlati","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Michigan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3171\/jns.1985.62.2.0248"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/eye.2017.240"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0161-6420(02)01166-1"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s11940-009-0051-3"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3171\/2012.2.FOCUS1223"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/neurintsurg-2016-012418"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/WNO.0b013e318199ce83"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1227\/01.NEU.0000083551.26295.AB"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/brainsci10080554"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1227\/ons.0000000000000808"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00234-010-0799-x"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_13_2","first-page":"1240","article-title":"Cavernous sinus dural fistulae treated by transvenous approach through the facial vein: report of seven cases and review of the literature","volume":"24","author":"Biondi A","year":"2003","unstructured":"Biondi A, Milea D, Cognard C, et al.
