Research
Mayo Clinic experts trained in brain and nervous system conditions (neurologists), brain and nervous system surgery (neurosurgeons), and other areas conduct clinical and laboratory research related to prevention, causes, diagnosis, and treatment of dural arteriovenous fistulas and other neurological conditions.
Mayo Clinic doctors and surgeons also study minimally invasive techniques in dural arteriovenous fistula surgery. Read more about research in neurology and neurologic surgery.
Mayo Clinic researchers study advanced treatments such as Onyx and other liquid embolic agents. These liquids are injected into the dAVF to form a clot and block the fistula. Recent research includes examinations of the effectiveness and impact of these liquid embolism treatments combined with earlier detection in improving patient outcomes.
