Safety and Efficacy of Combined Venous Sinus Balloon Protection Technique in Transarterial Embolization of Low- and Intermediate-Grade Transverse-Sigmoid Sinus Dural Arteriovenous Fistulas: A Cohort of 161 Patients

The sinus balloon protection technique demonstrates excellent safety and effectiveness, significantly improving the complete occlusion rate of low- and intermediate-grade TSS-DAVFs in the near term, without increasing the incidence of complications. In the future, larger prospective cohorts are needed to further elucidate and confirm the safety and effectiveness of the sinus balloon protection technique for all dural arteriovenous fistulas.
