Figure 7a. TVE with an anterior approach via the superficial temporal vein. (a) Left carotid angiogram shows a cavernous sinus dural AVF draining into the superior ophthalmic vein, the facial vein (arrowheads), and the superficial temporal vein (arrows). Note the occlusion of the inferior petrosal sinus. (b) Superselective venogram shows a microcatheter that has been advanced through the superficial temporal and superior ophthalmic veins into the posterior compartment of the cavernous sinus. The dural AVF was completely obliterated with subsequent coil embolization.
