  • Title: [Carotid-cavernous fistula. Treatment with a balloon catheter (author's transl)].
    Author: Rupp N, Piger A, Ultsch B.
    Journal: Rofo; 1975 Mar; 122(3):215-7. PubMed ID: 124680.
    Abstract:
    A relatively simple method for the intra-vascular treatment of a carotid-cavernous fistula is described and illustrated in one case. It consists of proximal ligation of the internal carotid artery and occlusion of the carotid syphon with a balloon catheter above the fistula. In this way, the carotid segment with the fistula is isolated from the circulation and therefore undergoes thrombosis. Close co-operation between radiologist and surgeon is required.
