AB SUMMARY: The accurate and safe delivery of a microcatheter to a targeted shunt pouch is essential for successful transvenous embolization of intracranial dural arteriovenous fistulas. However, complex anatomy and variations in head and neck veins and occluded sinuses can hinder intraprocedural microcatheter delivery. In this study, we introduce an intraprocedural flat panel detector rotational angiography and image fusion technique to aid precise navigation inside the veins and proper placement of the microcatheter in the targeted shunt pouch.ACCanterior condylar confluenceDAVFdural arteriovenous fistulaFPCTRAflat panel CT rotational angiographyIFimage fusionTVEtransvenous embolization
