Stereotactic Radiosurgery for Dural Arteriovenous Fistulas: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis and International Stereotactic Radiosurgery Society Practice Guidelines

CONCLUSION: SRS for dAVFs results in CO in the majority of patients with excellent symptom improvement rates with minimal toxicity. Patients with NCS and/or higher-grade dAVFs have poorer symptom cure rates. Combined therapy with embolization and SRS is recommended when feasible for clinically aggressive dAVFs or those refractory to embolization to maximize the likelihood of symptom cure.
