  • Title: Treatment of a traumatic carotid-cavernous fistula by the sole use of a flow diverting stent.
    Author: Nadarajah M, Power M, Barry B, Wenderoth J.
    Journal: J Neurointerv Surg; 2012 May; 4(3):e1. PubMed ID: 21990483.
    Abstract:
    Direct caroticocavernous fistula (CCF) has traditionally been treated by detachable balloon placement within the affected cavernous sinus. We describe a case of a direct CCF treated solely with flow-diverting stents. These novel devices may offer a simpler and potentially safer vessel-sparing option in this rare condition.
