Transarterial embolization of a direct carotid cavernous fistula with Guglielmi detachable coils.

چکیده
Four patients underwent transarterial embolization of a carotid-cavernous fistula with Guglielmi detachable coils; in three cases as the initial form of treatment and in one case after treatment via transarterial balloon embolization failed. The fistulas were 2 to 3 mm in diameter on pretreatment angiograms. Complete obliteration was achieved in two patients; in the other two, minimal residual flow remained immediately after embolization but disappeared by follow-up angiography. One to four coils were used to occlude the fistulas. The internal carotid artery remained patent in all patients, and there were no complications.

Transarterial platinum coil embolization of carotid-cavernous fistulas.
Of the 227 embolization procedures performed by our neurointerventional section for symptomatic carotid-cavernous fistulas over the past 10 years, five involved placement of platinum coils in the cavernous sinus from a transarterial route. In four patients, prior transarterial balloon procedures had failed to produce fistula closure. In the fifth patient, with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, a prior tr...

OBJECTIVE Transarterial treatment of direct carotid cavernous fistulas (DCCF) via embolic materials has been well documented. This study reports, validates, and compares with existing literature our experience treating DCCFs via endovascular approaches by using detachable balloons, coils, and covered stents. METHODS Between June 2006 to October 2011, 32 patients (21 male, 11 female) with 32 D...

We present one case of carotid-cavernous fistula caused by percutaneous treatment of trigeminal neuralgia and one case of vertebrovertebral fistula caused by percutaneous internal jugular vein cannulation. Each fistula had a small arteriovenous communication that prevented the use of detachable balloons. Endovascular transarterial treatment of these two iatrogenic fistulas with electrically det...
متن کاملEndovascular treatment strategy for direct carotid-cavernous fistulas resulting from rupture of intracavernous carotid aneurysms.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Reported treatments and outcomes in aneurysmal carotid-cavernous fistulas (CCFs) have been admixed with those of cases considered to be symptomatic of intracavernous aneurysm. However, aneurysmal CCFs have clinical features distinct from those of dural arteriovenous fistulas, and treatment strategies similar to those of traumatic CCF are required. We evaluated our experie...
