  • Title: Endovascular trapping of direct carotid-cavernous fistula.
    Author: Uysal E, Kizilkiliç O, Ulusay M, Basak M.
    Journal: J Clin Neurosci; 2010 Mar; 17(3):392-4. PubMed ID: 20074962.
    Abstract:
    We used an unconventional endovascular approach for the treatment of traumatic carotid cavernous fistula. A patient with a large high-flow shunt was successfully treated by trapping the fistula using a combination of proximal balloon occlusion and distal coil embolization. The latter was achieved following retrograde catheterization of the distal parent vessel via the ipsilateral vertebral artery.
