Clinical Characteristics and Management Considerations of Craniocervical Junction Arteriovenous Fistulas With Subarachnoid Hemorrhage: A Multicenter Study
CCJ AVF-related SAH is often mild, as evidenced by a high proportion of patients with low-grade World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies scores and a low rate of rebleeding/vasospasm. In contrast to intracranial aneurysmal SAH, our results do not support acute surgical intervention as the preferred management for patients with CCJ AVF-related SAH. Through delayed surgery, clinicians can avoid ischemic complications and improve patient outcomes.
