Radiation exposure during transvenous embolization of cerebrospinal fluid venous fistulae: determinants, benchmarks, and mitigation strategies
Transvenous CVF embolization frequently incurs significant radiation exposure, mostly driven by lateral plane utilization and procedural complexity. We propose practical adjustments-limiting lateral plane utilization, digital zoom, and staging multilevel cases-that can plausibly reduce exposure.
