O-035 Endovascular treatment of cerebral venous thrombosis involving the deep venous system

ConclusionsAlthough deep venous involvement of CVT is uncommon, these patients are at risk of quickly becoming critically ill with an elevated rate of death or dependency. Although these patients may develop stroke, hemorrhage, or neurologic decline prompting consideration of endovascular therapy, the deep cerebral venous system is not easily accessible with catheters due to small lumens and risk of perforation. It has been proposed that deep cerebral veins may have a higher chance of recanalization if venous thrombus burden is reduced in other parts of the dural venous sinuses. Current literature has not fully explored the association between endovascular treatment of the superficial dural venous sinuses and deep venous flow. Our study shows that endovascular recanalization of the superficial venous sinuses and/or straight sinus can subsequently result in recanalization of the deep veins and improve radiologic and clinical outcomes. Prospective trials are still needed to provide further evidence of safety and efficacy.Disclosures B. Morel: None. J. Hoffman: None. Z. Folzenlogen: None. C. Roark: None. J. Seinfeld: None. D.
