Objectives

Narrative objectives1

The goal of this study is to demonstrate the efficacy of gamma knife (GK) for dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF), especially as an initial and sole treatment modality. Many neurosurgeons consider endovascular embolization and direct surgery are the current standard therapeutic modalities for DAVFs, and GK has generally been considered as an alternative when the first two methods are not feasible or fail. However, the accumulation of retrospective evidence from single institutions have suggested that GK could outweigh the other modalities in light of the efficacies and minimal invasiveness. Some might argue that GK is not favorable for hemorrhagic or symptomatic DAVFs because the effect of GK might develop over years; however, many GK surgeons have actually experienced few cases of post-radiosurgical hemorrhage. Rapid improvement of associated symptoms within a couple of months is also possible. To establish evidence that GK is suitable as an initial and sole treatment modality with appropriate external validity, it is desirable to conduct a further study which will (i) clarify factors associated with fistula obliteration and assess the reasons for failed obliteration in order to provide better radiosurgical planning, and (ii) uncover the detailed outcomes by fistula locations, as the outcomes of surgical/endovascular treatments highly depend on the location, and (iii) evaluate the outcomes for those with a prior hemorrhage and/or high-risk features, with or without prior interventions. To accomplish them, the study should be based on a large number of study participants, which can only be achieved by conducting a nation-wide multi-institutional study.

Key inclusion criteria

Patients with dural arteriovenous fistulas treated with gamma knife between January 1, 1997 and December 31, 2016.
If a patient has 2 or more fistulas;
- If 2 or more lesions were treated with gamma knife, they should be registered as independent lesions only if they were located at an adequate distance from each other (farther than each other's 20% isodose line).
- If one of them was treated with gamma knife, the one should be registered; however, presence of the other lesions should also be clarified.
- Data on patients with 2 or more fistulas should be only used for the analyses for obliteration, because the analyses on hemorrhage and complications would become inappropriate as those rates of patients with 2 or more fistulas might be different by nature from patients with only one fistula.

Key exclusion criteria

1. Patient with a history of radiation therapy to the brain.
2. Patient without any follow-up image study.
3. Patient under 20 years.
