38 patients with spinal arteriovenous fistula (AVF) were treated. In 23 of them dural AVF (DAVF) was diagnosed, in 15--intradural perimedullar fistula (IPAVF). Transvasal embolization was conducted in 4 patients as an independent intervention, and in 7 patients--as a first stage before open microsurgical intervention. Open microsurgical intervention was conducted in 34 patients. The indications to microsurgical and transvasal intervention or their combination are substantiated. The interaction of treatment results and arteriovenous malformation was studied.
