  • Title: Simultaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage and carotid cavernous fistula after rupture of a paraclinoid aneurysm during balloon-assisted coil embolization.
    Author: Phatouros CC, Halbach VV, Malek AM, Dowd CF, Higashida RT.
    Journal: AJNR Am J Neuroradiol; 1999; 20(6):1100-2. PubMed ID: 10445450.
    Abstract:
    We describe an iatrogenic perforation of a paraclinoid aneurysm during balloon-assisted coil embolization that resulted in simultaneous subarachnoid contrast extravasation and a carotid cavernous fistula. The causative factors specifically related to the balloon-assisted method that led to aneurysm rupture are discussed as well as strategies for dealing with this complication.
