Two-step effective Onyx embolization from the occipital artery for the treatment of intracranial dural arteriovenous fistula: a technical note

CONCLUSIONS: Prior embolization using Onyx or coil of the distal OA helped prevent Onyx from unexpected embolization through the subcutaneous branches that were not associated with the shunt, thereby leading to effective embolization. This new two-step embolization technique from the OA may improve the obliteration rate of DAVFs with OA feeders using TAE with Onyx.PMID:38650568 | DOI:10.5137/1019-5149.JTN.44648-23.1
