Transvenous Embolization for Dural Arteriovenous Fistula through the Persistent Left Superior Vena Cava: A Case Report

Key Points

• This work aims to emphasize the significance of identifying persistent left superior vena cava during neuroendovascular procedures.
• Describes a case of transvenous embolization technique applied for a dural arteriovenous fistula.
• Highlights the identification of persistent left superior vena cava during the procedure.
• Discusses procedural planning and access considerations due to the vascular anomaly.
• Demonstrated the technical feasibility of the transvenous approach despite the anomaly.
• Emphasized that recognizing PLSVC allows for improved safety in venous access.
• Noted that failure to identify PLSVC may lead to complications during neurovascular interventions.
