Endovascular Treatment of Traumatic Carotid- Jugular Fistula: Report of Two Cases
نویسندگان
چکیده
pseudoaneurysm is rare, and generally occurs after a penetrating trauma rather than after blunt trauma. A bypass graft and sacrifice of the involved carotid artery was originally the treatment of choice until the advent of endovascular method. Currently, a traumatic carotidjugular fistula can be treated using endovascular methods such as ballooning, coiling, stent-graft deployment and stent assisted coil embolization. The authors present two cases of traumatic carotid jugular fistula that were treated using endovascular methods.

Mycotic aortic aneurysms account for 1–3% of all aortic aneurysms. The management of this disease is controversial. Since open surgical repair is associated with high morbidity and mortality rates, endovascular aneurysm repair is an alternative treatment method with promising early and midterm outcomes, although its long-term durability is unknown.Secondary aortoenteric fistulas may occur iatro...

BACKGROUND Endovascular embolization represents the method of choice for the treatment of carotid-cavernous fistulas (CCFs). METHODS We report our experience using the endovascular technique in 24 patients harboring 25 CCFs treated between October 1994 and April 2010, with an emphasis on the role of detachable balloons for the treatment of direct CCFs. RESULTS Of the 16 patients who present...
