Case in brief
This report details two patients with paraspinal arteriovenous fistulas (PSAVF) treated using a purely transvenous approach. The procedure involved direct access to the affected venous structures, allowing for precise occlusion of the fistulas. This method effectively reduced the risk of arterial ischemia to the spinal cord, demonstrating a viable treatment option for PSAVF.
Diagnostic / clinical pearl
Clinicians should consider the purely transvenous approach for treating paraspinal arteriovenous fistulas, as it allows for targeted intervention with reduced risk of spinal cord ischemia.
