Which type of duraplasty is best for Chiari type I malformation surgery?
This study on a large and homogeneous series of patients with CM-I undergoing PFDD with heterologous duraplasty demonstrated that CSF complications may be kept low. The dural substitutes derived from equine pericardium, particularly when combined with a collagen matrix inlay graft, exhibited a reduced rate of CSF leaks compared with substitutes derived from bovine pericardium.
