The role of angiogenesis in dural arteriovenous fistulae: the story so far.

The role of angiogenesis in dural arteriovenous fistulae: the story so far. Interv Neuroradiol. 2018 Jan 01;:1591019918764090 Authors: Bhogal P, Yeo LL, Henkes H, Krings T, Söderman M Abstract Intracranial dural arteriovenous fistulae are a commonly encountered pathology that can present with a variety of different clinical symptoms. Although there is a significant body of work relating to the natural history and treatment of dural arteriovenous fistulae the exact underlying pathogenesis remains elusive. Various different pathogenetic models have been put forward but there is now a growing body of evidence implicating angiogenesis and the involvement of angiogenetic factors. In this review we attempt to show how the various animal and human studies performed over the past two decades have contributed to the proposed hypothesis on the development of dural arteriovenous fistulae.
