Intracranial Dural Arteriovenous Fistula Related Pulsatile Tinnitus . Endovascular Treatment by Venous Stenting : An Efficacy Study
The goal of this randomized trial to assess the angiographic efficacy of venous stenting in dural arteriovenous fistulae (DAVF) via improvment on Cognard's Classification as compared to no intervention at 6 months Participants belonging to experimental group will be treated using venous stenting. DAVF will be assessed by angiography at 6 months follow-up. Participants belonging to control group will be followed accordingly to standard of care (no treatment). After 6 months, control group patients can be treated by any means accordinlgly to standard of care.
