متن کاملTransarterial balloon-assisted n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate embolization of direct carotid cavernous fistulas.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Transarterial detachable balloon embolization of direct carotid cavernous fistulas (DCCFs) has become an optimal treatment. In a few cases, the parent artery has to be sacrificed to achieve morphologic cure. We present our experience with transarterial balloon-assisted n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate (n-BCA) embolization of DCCFs in which there was failure to achieve angiographic...
